Omission mismatch negativity of speech sounds reveals a functionally impaired temporal window of integration in schizophrenia

We hypothesized that sensory memory associated with the temporal window of integration (TWI) would be impaired in patients schizophrenia, an issue had not been evaluated using omission mismatch negativity (MMN) complex speech sounds. aimed to assess functional changes auditory TWI schizophrenia by investigating effect stimuli on MMN. In total, 17 and 15 control individuals participated study. The MMN response deviants sounds was recorded, while participants were instructed ignore series latency significantly prolonged deviant omissions corresponding early late parts TWI. There no significant group differences amplitude at different time points across Our results suggested tracing function is later half showed certain abnormalities may caused
