According to an fMRI experiment conducted by Pelphrey et al. (2005), the comparison of the brain activity in neurologically typical individuals and individuals with autism shows that:
A) individuals with autism are able to shift attention from one stimuli to the next in a serial fashion, until the target is found.
B) individuals with autism are able to look intently at the gaze cues, automatically directing their attention in a particular direction.
C) both neurologically typical individuals and individuals with autism are able to make inferences about the intentions of others.
D) neurologically typical people are better able to make inferences about the intentions of others than are individuals with autism.

The study by Pelphrey et al. (2005) using fMRI technology found that neurologically typical individuals show more activity in brain regions associated with social cognition and are better at making inferences about others' intentions compared to individuals with autism. This suggests a difference in how social information is processed between the two groups.
