Brain scans and vision tests for severe mental illness
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses advanced MRI scans and visual perception tests to learn more about severe mental disorders like depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. It aims to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

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 collects information about mental health symptoms and body/genetic samples to better understand how different mental health conditions are related. Some people may also have brain scans (PET or MRI) if they can safely complete them.
This study looks at how people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder see the world. By comparing their visual perception to people without these conditions, researchers hope to learn more about how the brain processes what we see.
This study uses brain scans to look at how a specific brain area works in schizophrenia. If you qualify, it may help researchers better understand the brain changes linked to symptoms.
This study uses brain scans to understand why thinking and memory problems happen in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. It may help find better ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
This study uses brain scans to understand how people with bipolar disorder or major depression control their impulses. It compares patients with healthy volunteers to find differences in brain activity.
