P383 Multiscale lempel-ZIV complexity in schizophrenia at rest and while performing a naming task

Schizophrenic patients show cognitive deficits which are evident in EEG measures. Recent studies have suggested that non-linear EEG indexes might more adequately reflect the complex, irregular, nonstationary behavior of neural processes in schizophrenia than more traditional ERP measures (Fernandez et al., 2011). So far, non-linear analyses have mainly been performed to EEGs from patients at rest, whereas differences in complexity might be more evident during task performance. In addition, most studies have explored complexity at a single time scale.
