Discriminating schizophrenia disease progression using a P50 sensory gating task with dense-array EEG, clinical assessments, and cognitive tests

Background: Schizophrenia affects approximately 10% of the world’s population. Early detection of schizophrenia may significantly delay its progression. Although sensory gating deficits are reported in schizophrenia, it remains challenging how sensory gating deficits can be used with other metrics for risk detection and early diagnosis.Research design and methods: Using EEG, the authors examined effects of sensory gating on the performance of...
