First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether brain activity synchronizes differently in people with schizophrenia during social interactions. Researchers will compare 100 participants—some with schizophrenia and some without—as they chat and do tasks together while wearing EEG caps. The goal is to better understand the brain mechanisms behind social difficulties in schizophrenia, which could guide future treatments.
