Associations between psychotropic drugs and rsEEG connectivity and network characteristics: a cross-sectional study in hospital-admitted psychiatric patients.

Introduction: Resting-state EEG (rsEEG) characteristics, such as functional connectivity and network topology, are studied as potential biomarkers in psychiatric research. However, the presence of psychopharmacological treatment in study participants poses a potential confounding factor in biomarker research. To address this concern, our study aims to explore the impact of both single and multi-class psychotropic treatments on aforementioned rsEEG characteristics in a psychiatric population.
