Abstract

Lack of insight is a neurocognitive problem commonly encountered in patients with psychotic disorders that negatively affects treatment compliance and prognosis. Measurement of insight is based on self-report scales, which are limited due to subjectivity. 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.
