Dysconnection topography in schizophrenia revealed with state-space analysis of EEG.

<h4>Background</h4>The dysconnection hypothesis has been proposed to account for pathophysiological mechanisms underlying schizophrenia. Widespread structural changes suggesting abnormal connectivity in schizophrenia have been imaged. A functional counterpart of the structural maps would...
