AB The aim of this study was to characterize braindynamics during an auditory oddball task. For this purpose, ameasure of the non-stationarity of a given time-frequencyrepresentation (TFR) was applied to electroencephalographic(EEG) signals. EEG activity was acquired from 20schizophrenic (SCH) patients and 20 healthy controls whilethey underwent a three-stimulus auditory oddball task. TheDegree of Stationarity (DS), a measure of the non-stationarityof the TFR, was computed using the continuous wavelettransform. DS was calculated for both the baseline [-300 0] msand active task [150 550] ms windows of a P300 auditoryoddball task. Results showed a statistically significant increase(p<0.05) in non-stationarity for controls during the cognitivetask in the central region, while less widespread statisticallysignificant differences were obtained for SCH patients,especially in the beta-2 and gamma bands. Our findingssupport the relevance of DS as a means to study cerebralprocessing in SCH. Furthermore, the lack of statisticallysignificant changes in DS for SCH patients suggests anabnormal reorganization of neural dynamics during an oddballtask.
