NCT ID NCT04945278

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study uses a special two-way mirror device to see how teenagers and young adults at risk for psychosis recognize themselves versus others. Participants sit opposite a healthy volunteer and report who they see as lighting changes. The goal is to find differences in self-other perception that could signal early psychosis vulnerability.
