Introduction: The study is devoted to the development of new analytical procedures that would be fit for further study of the cerebral bioelectric activity (EEG) and may become reliable tools for diagnosing schizophrenia by using EEG.
Objective of the study: The study was aimed at detecting new “neuromarkers” suitable for diagnosing schizophrenia by using EEG.
Materials and methods: The subjects of the study were healthy individuals and patients with schizophrenia, both groups having been examined while either in the state of the undisturbed wakefulness or under mental exertion (backward counting in memory). Fractal characteristics of EEG traces has been determined by applying the Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analys.. Read More»
