This research study is trying to understand how people with schizophrenia experience touch and the passage of time. Researchers want to measure how your brain prepares for and predicts touch sensations. By comparing how people with schizophrenia and people without the condition process these experiences, scientists hope to find objective markers—measurable brain signs—that could help predict who might develop psychosis early on.
People with schizophrenia often experience changes in how they feel their own body and how they experience time passing. These changes are hard for patients to describe in words, so doctors need objective, measurable tests to detect them. Finding reliable markers could help identify people at risk before full psychosis develops, allowing for earlier intervention and better treatment planning.

You will visit the research center to complete brain imaging (EEG) and touch sensitivity tests while researchers measure how your brain responds to patterns of touch and time intervals. You will also likely answer questions about your experiences. The study compares results between people with schizophrenia and healthy volunteers to understand the differences in how the brain processes these sensations. The exact number and timing of visits will be explained when you enroll.
