متن کاملEstimation of the cool executive function using frontal electroencephalogram signals in first-episode schizophrenia patients
BACKGROUND In schizophrenia, executive dysfunction is the most critical cognitive impairment, and is associated with abnormal neural activities, especially in the frontal lobes. Complexity estimation using electroencephalogram (EEG) recording based on nonlinear dynamics and task performance tests have been widely used to estimate executive dysfunction in schizophrenia. METHODS The present stu...
