Read our Schizophrenia research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are creating and testing a new memory task that can be used during brain imaging scans. This task will help scientists better understand how people with schizophrenia remember and identify the source of information they've learned. The study involves two phases: first, developing the right materials for the task, and second, testing the completed task with both people who have schizophrenia and healthy volunteers.
Many people with schizophrenia have difficulty with memory and distinguishing where information comes from. Researchers need better tools to measure these specific memory problems during brain imaging so they can understand what's happening in the brain and eventually develop better treatments.

You'll participate in one or two study sessions depending on which phase you join. In the first phase, you'll complete a questionnaire about different words or phrases. In the second phase, you'll complete a memory task while researchers measure your brain activity, along with a standard reference task. The entire study is being conducted in French at a hospital in France.
