“…Startle reaction is viewed as one of the critical symptoms in acute stress reaction and posttraumatic stress disorder. 1 –3 This symptom might provide insight into the physiological basis of these phenomena. It is difficult to objectively identify and evaluate startle reaction in these disorders both at presentation and subsequently under drug treatment; as the only widely-accepted electrophysiological measure to assess startle reaction is the eye blink reflex that is not carried out routinely in everyday practice.…”

“…There are reports of altered startle reaction in schizophrenic patients. 1 2–3 In one study, Arikan et al reported that EEG measures of the reactivity to eyelid opening could effectively predict startle reaction in patients of acute stress reaction; thus routine EEG could be utilized in the diagnosis of startle reaction. 4 In this study, the relationship between self-reported startle reaction and delusions of persecution in patients with schizophrenia is assessed, and EEG measures of the reactivity to eyelid opening are used to predict this association.…”
