Summary

This study tests whether a mild electrical current applied to the scalp (tDCS) before computer-based thinking exercises can improve memory, attention, and planning in people with schizophrenia. 120 adults aged 18-65 will be randomly assigned to receive either real or fake stimulation over three weeks. Researchers will measure changes in thinking skills using standard tests at the start, right after treatment, and again 8 weeks later.
