Summary

This study uses a safe, noninvasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to understand how hallucinations happen in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Researchers will stimulate a specific brain circuit and measure changes in brain activity and symptom severity. The goal is to learn more about the brain's role in hallucinations, not to provide treatment.
