First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a French-language memory task that can be used during brain scans to measure source-monitoring—the ability to remember where information came from. Researchers will test the task on 120 people, including those with schizophrenia and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand memory errors in schizophrenia, not to treat the condition.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable tool for studying memory errors in schizophrenia using brain scans, potentially improving understanding of the condition.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage tool development study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct patient benefits, and the task may not work as expected in neuroimaging settings.
