Overall, HCs showed a reliable neural response to the unmasking of individual faces, consistent with a mismatch between an internally inferred representation and newly revealed sensory information. In contrast, no robust mismatch-related response was detected in the SZ group in the present dataset. This pattern is compatible with predictive-processing accounts that emphasize reduced precision of perceptual inference in SZ
