Correlations between measures of attention and topographical abnormalities of evoked cortical potentials elicited during the Continuous Attention Test (CAT) were assessed in 50 schizophrenic patients, compared to 50 healthy subjects. For each group and for each CAT condition evoked responses consisted of six successive epochs (segments) of stable spatially configured potentials. Quantitative descriptors of those configurations (Lehmann 1987) were referred to the CAT data. In patients: (1) segments III-V were delayed, (2) in the non-target condition, diminished global field power (GFP) emerged, coexisting either with lower amplitude of posterior potentials in segment I and II or with lower amplitude of a central positive potential in segment V, (3) an altered topographic pattern of responses to the target stimulus occurred. In healthy subjects detection of the target (as compared to the non-target condition) was associated with a shift of the location of the positive potential in segments IV and V from a central towards the prefrontal area. In patients, in segment V a similar shift reached frontal, but not prefrontal areas, and additionally, the central areas remained active. Delayed latency and low GFP in segment V in the non-target condition in patients correlated with poor CAT performance. A more posterior location of the positive centroid in segment V during detection of the target correlated with better CAT results, and the associated GFP increase with less prolonged reaction time. The data revealed a possible compensatory role of central and frontal areas in the face of weakened prefrontal functions in schizophrenia.

The Short-Time Directed Transfer Function (SDTF) is an estimator based on a multivariate autoregressive model which has proved to be successful in ERP experiments, e.g. those connected with motor action and its imagination. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the performance of SDTF in the cognitive experiment. We have applied SDTF for the estimation of the pattern of EEG signal transmissions during a Continuous Attention Test (CAT). Time-frequency patterns of propagation were estimated for two experimental conditions. Statistical procedures based on thin-plate spline model were used for estimation of significant changes in respect to the reference epoch. The repeatability of the results for a subject and across the subjects were investigated. The effect of prolonged transmission in the gamma band from the prefrontal electrodes found in all subjects was explained by the active inhibition in the case when a subject had to sustain from performing the action.
