Generalized Slowing of Resting-State Neural Oscillations in People With Schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent interest in how neural oscillations reflect the flow of information through the brain has led to partitioning electroencephalography (EEG) recordings into periodic (i.e., oscillatory) and aperiodic (i.e., non-oscillatory) components. While both contribute to conventional measures of power within the frequencies that compose EEG recordings, the periodic aspect characterizes true oscillations, the speed of which is thought to be critical to efficient functioning of neural systems. Given evidence of EEG power abnormalities in schizophrenia (SCZ), we sought to determine whether the periodic aspect of EEG was aberrant in people with SCZ and could serve as a general measure of brain efficiency.

Methods

Resting-state EEGs were gathered from 104 participants with S
