State Representation in Early Psychosis 2 (STEP2)

15. september 2026 opdateret af: University of Minnesota

This observational study will examine behavioral and electroencephalography measures related to state representation in individuals with early psychosis and healthy control participants.

Participants will complete clinical interviews, self-report measures, cognitive assessments, computerized behavioral tasks, and EEG assessments. The study will evaluate performance and computed parameters from the Translational Orientation Pattern Expectancy task and Translational Bandit Task, along with EEG variables related to cognitive control, reward processing, and neural synchrony.

The study aims to better understand heterogeneity in early psychosis and identify neurocognitive and neurophysiologic markers that may inform future precision psychiatry approaches.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

State Representation in Early Psychosis 2 is an observational study of individuals with early psychosis and healthy control participants. The study is part of an NIH Silvio O. Conte Center for Translational Mental Health Research grant and is designed to examine behavioral and neural markers of state representation processes in early psychosis.

The study will enroll individuals with early psychosis and demographically similar healthy controls. Participants will complete interviews, self-report measures, behavioral tasks, cognitive assessments, and electroencephalography assessments. The study focuses on computational and EEG measures related to state estimation, state maintenance, and state learning.

Participants will complete variants of two computerized tasks: the Translational Orientation Pattern Expectancy task and the Translational Bandit Task. EEG will be collected while participants complete these tasks and during resting state. EEG variables of interest include P300, reward positivity, phase synchrony, spectral power density slope, and prefrontal/parietal theta.

Clinical and functional measures will also be collected, including measures of psychiatric symptoms, functioning, motivation, pleasure, discrimination, disability, depression, anxiety, and general cognitive ability. The study will compare early psychosis participants with healthy control participants and evaluate how behavioral, computational, EEG, cognitive, clinical, and functional measures relate to heterogeneity in early psychosis.

Studiebefolkning

The study population includes individuals with early psychosis and demographically similar healthy control participants. Early psychosis participants will have a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, psychosis NOS, bipolar disorder with psychosis, or major depressive disorder with psychosis. Healthy control participants will be recruited from the community and must not meet DSM-5 criteria for psychotic or bipolar disorder or have a first-degree family history of psychotic or bipolar disorder. Participants will be 15 to 45 years old and will complete clinical interviews, self-report measures, cognitive assessments, computerized behavioral tasks, and EEG assessments.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Combined TOPX and TBT State Representation Parameter Score
Tidsramme: Baseline study assessment, up to 8 weeks

Performance and computed parameters from the Translational Orientation Pattern Expectancy task and Translational Bandit Task will be combined to evaluate state estimation, state maintenance, and state learning processes. The Translational Orientation Pattern Expectancy task is a cognitive control task used to evaluate dysregulated expectancy through responses to expected and unexpected stimuli. The Translational Bandit Task is a reward learning task used to evaluate responses to rewards. Together, task-derived parameters will be combined into model-derived parameter scores reflecting state estimation, state maintenance, and state learning.

Unit: model-derived parameter score

Baseline study assessment, up to 8 weeks
P300 Amplitude During AX-CPT Task
Tidsramme: Baseline study assessment, up to 8 weeks

P300 will be assessed during the AX-CPT task as a parietally maximal positive-going event-related potential component occurring approximately 300 to 600 milliseconds after stimulus presentation. Cue-locked P300 responses to A versus B cues and probe-locked P300 responses to AX versus AY probes will be used to assess attention allocation and context/state representation during proactive and reactive cognitive control.

Baseline study assessment, up to 8 weeks
Resting-State EEG Phase Synchrony
Tidsramme: Baseline study assessment, up to 8 weeks

Phase synchrony will be assessed during resting-state EEG using measures of the consistency of phase relationships between electrode sites, such as phase-locking value or weighted phase-lag index. Resting-state EEG will include eyes-closed and eyes-open conditions and will be used to assess coordination of neural activity across distributed brain regions.

Unit: aperiodic exponent

Baseline study assessment, up to 8 weeks
Prefrontal and Parietal Theta Power
Tidsramme: Baseline study assessment, up to 8 weeks

Prefrontal and parietal theta activity will be assessed using electroencephalography during computerized tasks and resting state as a neurophysiologic measure related to cognitive control and state representation.

Unit: decibels
