Early psychosis cognition study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study explores how thinking and memory work in people who have experienced early psychosis. It involves computer tasks, brain scans, and a type of brain stimulation to better understand cognition. The study has two parts: one for people currently in early psychosis and one for people who have had psychosis at any point.

This study looks at how to improve early psychosis care using data-driven planning and support for people who are newly developing symptoms. It may help by sharing better ways to coordinate treatment among patients, families, and the clinic/community teams.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can improve thinking and memory in people with psychosis. It involves MRI scans and several study visits at McLean Hospital.
This study tests whether a cognitive training program can help young adults with recent psychosis improve their thinking and memory skills. It involves brain scans and cognitive exercises.
This study tests a self-guided cognitive training program designed for young people who recently had their first episode of psychosis. It aims to improve thinking skills and daily function through exercises you can do at home.
This study looks at how people with early psychosis update their beliefs and use speech, using tasks on a laptop or phone. It aims to understand these processes better to improve support.
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with early schizophrenia. If you qualify, you would receive the study treatment while continuing stable schizophrenia care.
