High Frequencies in QEEG Are Related to the Level of Insight in Patients With Schizophrenia.

This study aimed to determine the correlation between resting state beta and gamma power in 23 patients with schizophrenia and insight. It was observed that as beta and gamma power measured via qualitative electroencephalography (qEEG) increased the level of insight decreased. Negative correlation was found in F3, C3, Cz for gamma activity and in F3 and C3 for beta activity. This finding indicates that resting state qEEG could be used to evaluate the level of insight in patients with schizophrenia.
