What is Social Orientation Impairment

This chapter proposes automated screening of internet and multimedia communications through a combination of neuroeconomics to measure neuro-response plasticity through forensic phonetics, EEG monitoring, and EigenFaces. These measure neuro-response plasticity through facial differences, including through the eyes, differences in EEG pattern, and prosody in the form of tone of voice. Through describing the ‘Distress in the Mind Test', a computer program is proposed that can be implemented on any device with a camera and microphone and can therefore also be used to diagnose social orientation impariments, such as autism and social phobia. Further development would prevent people with social orientation impairments or whom are otherwise at risk from online harms being exposed to them through automated content filtering.
