Description
Brain activity flips through brief stable patterns called microstates, and those patterns may differ in people who have survived a suicide attempt. Qin Liu and co-authors record resting brain waves in this 2025 study of three groups: attempt survivors, people with suicidal thoughts, and healthy controls.
Survivors showed a distinct rhythm of patterns, with some states appearing more often and others passing more quickly than in the thoughts-only group. Higher risk scores tracked the same shifts. The authors suggest these dynamics could one day help tell behavior apart from thoughts, while noting that a one-time snapshot cannot prove the patterns predict future acts.
