Abstract
We previously demonstrated that event-related potentials (ERPs), such as N1/N2b amplitudes in an auditory selective attention task, were significantly associated with communication skills of schizophrenia. The present study investigated the relationship between N1/N2b amplitudes and the quality of life (QOL) 5 years after ERP measurement. QOL of 15 patients with schizophrenia was assessed using the quality of life scale (QLS). Correlational analyses revealed a significant relationship between N2b, but not N1, amplitude and specific domains of QOL. N2b amplitude, an electrophysiological index of orienting response, may be associated with longitudinal social functioning outcome in schizophrenia.
