Summary
This study tested whether a brain wave measurement called mismatch negativity (MMN) can help match veterans with mental illness to the most effective cognitive training program. 100 veterans with conditions like schizophrenia, PTSD, or mood disorders participated. The goal was to see if this approach improves thinking, daily function, and quality of life better than a one-size-fits-all method.
