Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a widely used tool in neuropsychiatry research. The most used measurements in EEG are the amplitude and latency of the cortical electrophysiological activity in response to stimulus, known as evoked potentials. Besides potentials, time/frequency analysis is also used to obtain information on global fluctuations of the recordings, which evoked potentials do not provide. Time/frequency analysis results in different values known as derived measures. In this work, a brief introduction to evoked potentials and time/frequency analyses in schizophrenia is given, focusing on P300, noise power, and spectral entropy. Finally, a detailed description is given on how to obtain EEG recordings, evoked potentials, and derived measures.

Keywords: Electroencephalography; Evoked potentials; Noise power; P300; Spectral entropy; Time-frequency.
