NCT ID NCT06911931
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the brain processes visual information in people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or schizoaffective disorder. Researchers will use a non-invasive EEG cap to measure brain waves while participants view simple visual patterns. The goal is to find early markers of psychosis that could improve diagnosis and understanding of these conditions.
