Description

This dataset contains the results of a clinical validation study using the Cognition of Social Interaction in Movies screening tool (COSIMO; https://cosimo-project.com) for participants with temporal lobe epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and healthy participants. Participants completed the test online, either at their own leisure or during a routine neuropsychological assessment. The data has been cleaned and any potentially identifying information removed. We anticipated that all groups, including healthy participants aged 65 and older, would score significantly lower than healthy controls. A peer-reviewed publication of the results is pending, but a preprint can be found at https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.11.26.25341046v2.
