Brain training zaps hallucinations: new hope for schizophrenia?

This study tests whether people with schizophrenia can learn to quiet their auditory hallucinations using real-time brain scans (fMRI). Participants see their own brain activity and try to shift it toward a non-hallucinating state. The trial involves 84 adults whose hallucinations persist despite medication. Half receive real feedback; half receive fake feedback. The goal is to see if this training reduces hallucination severity one month later.
