Popis: Although various psychiatric disorders present with social-cognitive impairment, a measure assessing social-cognitive processes implicitly and reliably, with high selectivity and with enough signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for individual evaluation of any population at any age, is lacking. Here we isolate a neural marker quantifying impaired visual coding of facial expression in individuals with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) using frequency-tagging with electroencephalography (EEG). Twenty-two 22q11DS participants and 22 healthy controls were presented with changes of facial expression displayed at low, moderate, and high intensities every five cycles in a stream of one neutral face repeating 6 times per second (i.e., at a 6 Hz base rate). The brain response to expression changes tagged at the 1.2 Hz (i.e., 6 Hz/5) predefined frequency was isolated over occipito-temporal regions in both groups of participants for moderate- and high-intensity facial expressions. Neural sensitivity to facial expression was reduced by about 36% in 22q11DS, revealing impaired visual coding of emotional facial signals. The significance of the expression-change response was estimated for each single participant thanks to the high SNR of the approach. Further analyses revealed the high reliability of the response and its immunity from other neurocognitive skills. Interestingly, response magnitude was associated with the severity of positive symptoms, pointing to a potential endophenotype for psychosis risk. Overall, the present study reveals an objective, selective, reliable, and behavior-free signature of impaired visual coding of facial expression implicitly quantified from brain activity with high SNR. This novel tool opens avenues for clinical practice, providing a potential early biomarker for later psychosis onset and offering an alternative for individual assessment of social-cognitive functioning in even difficult-to-test participants.
