Fixation Task: A Simple Eye Movement Task Reveals an Impairment in Schizophrenia
FS impairment was noted in antipsychotic naïve/free SCZ, and it worsened with the introduction of distractors. An inversed laterality effect (rightward-bias) of distractor was noted in SCZ and their FDRs, suggesting a possible association of attenuation/reversal of visual functional asymmetry with SCZ vulnerability. Future studies should evaluate FS as illness markers across different clinical stages.
