Measuring alterations in oscillatory brain networks in Schizophrenia with resting-state MEG: State-of-the-art and methodological challenges

Schizophrenia (SZ) is a severe psychotic disorder with important cognitive impairments. It is one of the most debilitating psychiatric illnesses. Worldwide, an estimated 21 million individuals suffer from schizophrenia and other psychotic illnesses (World Health Organization 2016). SZ patients display psychotic symptoms (e.g., hallucination, delusion, etc.) and often mood symptoms such as depression (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Despite a thriving body of research, progress in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie the symptoms of the disorder, and its heterogeneous nature, is relatively slow.
