Summary
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called time interference stimulation (TIS) to see if it can improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia. Fifty adults aged 18-50 with schizophrenia will receive either real TIS or a fake (sham) treatment twice daily for two weeks. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive function, symptoms, and brain activity at the end of treatment and again four weeks later.
