Core Tip	By combining electroencephalogram-driven neurofeedback with cartoon-based attention training, this study introduces a child-friendly, non-invasive protocol that directly modulates prefrontal γ-band activity in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder. Unlike conventional rehabilitation alone, this approach strengthens self-regulated cortical networks underpinning social cognition and emotional control, leading to clinically and statistically superior improvements in Social Responsiveness Scale, Aberrant Behavior Checklist, Emotion Regulation Checklist, and Social Communication Questionnaire scores without increasing adverse events. The strategy offers an easily scalable, low-risk adjunct that can be embedded into existing early-intervention services to enhance long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.
