Building a computer model of hearing voices
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study builds a computer model of how the brain produces auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) using brain scans and EEG. It aims to understand the brain activity behind voice-hearing, which could help improve treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 16 and 65 years old.
- You hear voices that others don't (or you are a healthy volunteer).
- If you take antipsychotics, your dose has been stable.
- You can give written consent and follow the study schedule.
- No recent seizures, no major medical conditions, and no MRI or EEG contraindications.

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 the brain processes information in people with early psychosis compared to healthy controls. It may help improve understanding and treatment of psychosis.
This study looks at how people with early psychosis (within the first 5 years of treatment) talk during conversations. Researchers hope to learn more about speech patterns and brain activity related to psychosis.
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 study tests a new brain-training method that may help people with schizophrenia who hear voices. It uses MRI to give real-time feedback to help you control brain activity related to the voices.
This study tests whether special sound-based stimulation can help improve brain “communication timing” in people with early-course schizophrenia. It compares participants with early-course schizophrenia to healthy volunteers without a psychiatric history to see how brain function changes.
