Schizophrenia study explores how the brain misjudges time
NCT ID NCT06361407
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates how people with schizophrenia experience time and sensory information differently. Researchers will use a visual illusion task to see if small timing disruptions affect perception. The goal is to better understand the link between time processing and psychotic symptoms. 68 participants will complete cognitive and clinical evaluations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could improve understanding of how time perception and sensory processing contribute to schizophrenia symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with only 68 participants, so findings may not apply broadly. It does not test a treatment.
