Brain synchrony study for schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain activity syncs between people with schizophrenia and others. It aims to understand social interaction differences—potentially leading to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses computer tasks to learn how people with schizophrenia think, pay attention, and remember. It may help improve future tests and treatments for schizophrenia. Healthy volunteers are also needed to compare results.
This study looks at how people think and make decisions by using computer tasks and brain scans. It hopes to find better ways to measure thinking, which could help improve treatments for conditions like schizophrenia.
This study tests a brain-training method called neurofeedback that may help improve thinking and reduce symptoms in people with schizophrenia. You'll get feedback on your brain activity while doing tasks, and the researchers hope it will help your brain work better.
This trial looks at how people with schizophrenia and healthy volunteers synchronize during conversations. It aims to understand social difficulties in schizophrenia.
This study looks at how the brain processes social situations in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It aims to understand brain activity during social interactions, which could help improve future treatments.
This study looks at how social thinking and brain structure change over time in people with schizophrenia compared to healthy adults. It uses brain scans to see if iron levels in the brain play a role.
