Using brain signals to guide cognitive rehab in psychosis
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at brain-wave or related “brain signal” measurements to better guide cognitive rehabilitation (thinking and memory skills). It may help people with long-term psychotic disorders, and it also may include healthy comparison volunteers to understand the signals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of a long-term psychotic disorder, or you are generally in good mental and physical health with no active mental health condition
- You can read and speak English fluently
- You do not have major hearing or vision problems that would stop you from completing the study
- No use of substances other than cannabis in the last 30 days (based on your answers or a urine test)
- You do not have a history of major medical or nervous-system (neurological) illness, or intellectual disability
- You can understand the study and give informed consent

This trial tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback, which helps you learn to control certain brainwaves. It might improve thinking and daily function for people with schizophrenia who are otherwise stable.
This study tests a brain-training technique called gamma neurofeedback that aims to help people with schizophrenia improve their working memory (the ability to hold and use information briefly). Participants receive real-time feedback while doing memory exercises to train their brain activity patterns.
This study looks at whether a treatment that targets brain “rhythms” can improve working memory in people who are in the early stage of schizophrenia. It may help the brain process information more effectively, which can support daily thinking and functioning.
This study builds a database of brain-signal measurements to help find “biomarkers” that may point to schizophrenia or related mental illnesses. Depending on whether you have a mental health diagnosis or you’re healthy, the study will collect information and brain data to compare groups.
This study looks at how psychiatric and neurological conditions affect thinking and memory skills. By comparing patients with healthy volunteers, researchers hope to better understand these cognitive problems and find new ways to help.
This study tests whether recording brain signals can help people regain better control of movements in the arms and help with speech. It may be an option for people with significant disability from certain nerve and brain conditions who can safely take part in brain-monitoring procedures.
