A comparative analysis of situations of correct and erroneous perception of visual stimuli and of the dynamics of slow electrical activity of the occipital and frontal cortex has shown that schizophrenia is characterized by specific disorders of the functional and time structure of perception. One of the main signs of these disorders is dysfunction of the frontal cortex at the stages of the synthesis of the perceived information with traces of memory about similar impacts and subsequent categorization of the perceived information.
