Thinking and memory study for adults with schizophrenia and healthy volunteers
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 59 years old
- You have a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, OR you are a healthy volunteer with no mental health condition like psychosis or bipolar disorder
- You do not have a substance use disorder in the past 6 months (will be checked with urine tests and breathalyzer)
- You have a score of 16 or higher on a reading test (WTAR) to confirm understanding
- No recent head injury or neurological disease
- If you have schizophrenia, your medications have been stable for the past month (or you are not taking medications and are not in crisis)

This study looks at how people think and make decisions by using computer tasks and brain scans. It hopes to find better ways to measure thinking, which could help improve treatments for conditions like schizophrenia.
This study looks at how computer-based thinking exercises might improve memory and attention in people with schizophrenia. It uses brain scans (MRI) to see if these exercises change how the brain works.
This study builds a database of brain-signal measurements to help find “biomarkers” that may point to schizophrenia or related mental illnesses. Depending on whether you have a mental health diagnosis or you’re healthy, the study will collect information and brain data to compare groups.
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 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.
This study tests how people with schizophrenia and healthy volunteers track sources of information using a French computer task. It may help researchers better understand memory and thinking differences that could guide future support and treatments.
