Impacts and therapeutic effects of biofeedback in painting creation on the neural network of children with autism

Objective: To explore the effects of different external treatment methods on biofeedback stimulation in patients with autism, analyze the impact of different biofeedback stimuli on the transmission of neural network signals in patients, and evaluate the therapeutic effects on autism patients. Method: 120 autistic patients under the age of 13 were selected and divided into a control group and an experimental group. The experimental group patients were intervened with a combination of painting therapy and traditional treatment. The control group patients were only intervened with traditional therapy. During the experiment, relevant instruments were used to collect changes in the patient’s eye electrical signals during the treatment process. The relationship between changes in eye electrical signals and patient efficacy was analyzed. Results: After four courses of treatment, the experimental group demonstrated a significant increase in the infant/junior high school social and biological competence scale and goals achievement and learning scale (p < 0.001), indicating that painting therapy had a good therapeutic effect on children with autism. During the treatment process of painting therapy, the total electrooculogram approximate entropy of the patient’s eye electrical activity significantly decreased (p < 0.001). During the painting process, the patient’s attention and state were more focused. Conclusion: The biofeedback signals of children with autism undergoing painting therapy show that the patient’s attention is more focused and their concentration is higher than usual. Painting therapy can promote the further development of neural networks in children with autism by intervening in their bioelectric signals.
