How the brain predicts movement in schizophrenia

This research study examines how your brain makes predictions about movement and sensations, and how those prediction abilities may work differently in schizophrenia. You'll watch two squares move toward each other on a screen and answer simple questions about whether they touch. The researchers want to understand which types of predictions — automatic sensory ones or conscious mental ones — are affected in schizophrenia.

People with schizophrenia often experience changes in how they perceive themselves and the world around them. Scientists believe these differences may be linked to how the brain makes predictions about sensory information. Understanding this better could help improve treatment and care in the future.
