| Core Tip |
Direct neurophysiological evidence on delay discounting in patients with schizophrenia is extremely scarce. This article identifies five event-related potential paradigms suitable for delay discounting studies, providing a critical methodological foundation for future research. We propose a practical roadmap including case-control studies using these paradigms, multicomponent event-related potential recording with time-frequency analysis, rigorous confounder control, longitudinal and cross-diagnostic designs, and integration with computational models. This framework aims to accelerate the understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying impulsive decision-making in patients with schizophrenia. |
