Optimal sensor location for body sensor network to detect self-stimulatory behaviors of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

In this study, we investigate various locations of sensor positions to detect stereotypical self-stimulatory behavioral patterns of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study is focused on finding optimal detection performance based on sensor location and number of sensors. To perform this study, we developed a wearable sensor system that uses a 3 axis accelerometer.
