Brain training to improve memory in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a brain-training technique called gamma neurofeedback to see if it can improve working memory (the ability to hold and use information) in people with schizophrenia. You will learn to control brain waves while getting feedback in real time, which might help with memory and thinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
