Functional Connectivity in Chronic Schizophrenia: An EEG Resting‐State Study with Corrected Imaginary Phase‐Locking by Christophe Domingos, Wiktor Więcławski, Sandra Frycz, Maja Wojcik, Martin Jáni, Olga Dudzińska, Przemysław Adamczyk, Tomas Ros

“…Interpretation of these findings is complicated by volume‐conduction effects, where local brain activity fluctuations project simultaneously to distant scalp regions (zero‐phase lag), inducing spurious inter‐electrode correlations. Aim: In the present study, we explored the network dynamics of schizophrenia using a novel functional connectivity metric—corrected imaginary phase locking value (ciPLV)—which is insensitive to changes in amplitude as well as interactions at zero‐phase lag. …”
