Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 4 groups of patients / participants which fulfill following criteria:
  • \- Healthy controls (n \= 60\)
  • \- ASD patients as diagnosed based on ADOS\-2/ADI\-R and a clinical assessment by a qualified psychiatrist (n \= 60\).
  • \- SCZ patients as diagnosed based on a clinical assessment by a qualified psychiatrist (n \= 60\)
  • \- SAD patients as diagnosed on a clinical assessment by a qualified psychiatrist (n \= 60\).
  • \- OCD patients as diagnosed on a clinical assessment by a qualified psychiatrist (n \= 60\).
  • \- Ability to understand the study procedure
  • \- Informed consent: A declaration of informed consent has to be signed and personally dated by the subject.

Exclusion Criteria

  • \- Presence of disorders other than ASD, SCZ, SAD and OCD, which may deteriorate social functioning, motor function or cognitive abilities such as dementia, severe arthritis, drug/alcohol abuse, Alzheimer’s Disease, or stroke. However, because of high co\-occurrence rate of conditions such as depressive disorders in ASD, SCZ, SAD and OCD, such disorders will be controlled for in the analyses but will not constitute a hard exclusion criterion. We will, however, attempt to recruit mainly individuals with no comorbidities.
  • \- Inability to remain motionless in the fMRI scanner without involuntary movements providing intolerable artifacts
  • \- Inability to give informed consent
  • \- Claustrophobia
  • \- Pregnancy
  • \- MRI incompatible implants, such as cardiac pacemakers or magnetic objects
  • \- Permanent makeup
  • \- Large tattoos particularly in or near the imaging area
  • Abandon criteria:
  • \- Occurrence of any exclusion criterion either at the time of recruitment or revealed after/during measurement such as incidental findings in the MRI images
