This trial tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method (tDCS) can help people with schizophrenia who also have moderate-to-severe cannabis use disorder reduce or quit cannabis. It also involves MRI scanning to help study brain changes.
This study looks at how heavy cannabis use affects the way you process emotions. You may be able to join if you use cannabis most days, meet criteria for cannabis use disorder, and are not currently in treatment for it. Participants will have brain scans and mild brain stimulation.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called tACS) can make motivational interviewing, a type of counseling, more effective for people who want to reduce their cannabis use.
