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 early-phase study tests a personalized treatment plan for people who hear voices (auditory verbal hallucinations) at least weekly. It uses brain/machine-based information to try to better target hallucinations and monitor safety.
This trial tests whether real-time brain imaging “neurofeedback” can help people with schizophrenia who have ongoing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) that haven’t improved with medications. If you qualify, you may complete brain-scanning sessions where you practice changing brain activity while being monitored.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) and real-time feedback to help train the brain to reduce frequent, distressing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may try a structured neurofeedback program while researchers track changes in your symptoms.
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 whether a virtual reality therapy that lets you talk to an avatar of the voice you hear can help reduce distress and improve thinking skills. It's for people with schizophrenia who hear voices regularly and are on stable medication.
