Spatiotemporal decoding of visual working memory deficits in schizophrenia using EEG multivariate pattern analysis

Key Points

• Working memory deficits significantly correlate with specific EEG patterns, revealing distinct neural mechanisms.
• The analysis indicates performance drops were notably higher in participants with schizophrenia compared to controls.
• Employing EEG and multivariate pattern analysis allowed for detailed exploration of cognitive processes in real-time.
• Findings call for more targeted interventions to address memory impairments in schizophrenia for effective treatment.
