Time,Self and Spontaneous Mental Activities in Patients With Psychotic Disorders (Self and Time)

August 18, 2025 updated by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
The main purpose of the study is to examine to which extent abnormalities in the dynamics of neural activities observed in patients with psychosis is related to difficulties at ordering simple visual stimuli and/or personal events.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Healthy volunteer
Connectivity between the areas related to information processing over time and the areas activated during the rest activity. We will verify whether the activation anomalies observed during time tasks predict anomalies in spontaneous activity dynamics.
link between EEG response anomalies related to information processing over time and response anomalies recorded during rest activity. We will check whether anomalies in EEG oscillatory responses during time tasks predict anomalies during the rest task.
Experimental: Patients with schizophrenia
Connectivity between the areas related to information processing over time and the areas activated during the rest activity. We will verify whether the activation anomalies observed during time tasks predict anomalies in spontaneous activity dynamics.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Abnormalities in connectivity during order judgement tasks will be taken as seeds to check whether they account for abnormalities in connectivity at rest, by means of mathematic modelization
Time Frame: After study completion (2 years)

Secondary Outcome Measures
