A Neurofeedback Intervention to Improve Working Memory in Schizophrenia

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Schizophrenia

In brief

Schizophrenia affects 2.4 million Americans and causes significant individual and societal costs. Cognitive deficits including poor working memory arise early in the course of illness, account for poor long-term outcomes and have been difficult to treat with available treatments. The investigators are proposing to develop a novel, computer-based brain training to improve working memory in schizophrenia patients, which, if successful could have significant personal, societal, and economic impact.
