Lower P300 amplitudes for internally-generated events in patients with schizophrenia.

CONCLUSION: P300 amplitude was lower for internally-generated but not externally-generated events in patients with schizophrenia. These findings suggest that patients allocate less attentional resources to internally generated events resulting in poorer processing and consequent misattribution of their source of origin. This study provides the first specific electrophysiological evidence of impaired source monitoring in schizophrenia. PMID: 29787955 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
