This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is looking at how the brain processes what we see in people with psychosis-related conditions. Researchers will use a safe, non-invasive technique called electroencephalography (EEG)—which records electrical activity in the brain through sensors placed on your scalp—to identify early warning signs of psychosis. The goal is to find new biological markers that could help doctors diagnose and understand these conditions better.
Current methods for diagnosing psychosis rely heavily on symptoms that patients report, which can be subjective and delayed. By finding measurable brain-based markers, doctors could potentially catch these conditions earlier and develop better treatments.

You will visit the research site for testing sessions where researchers will place harmless sensors on your scalp to record your brain's electrical activity while you look at visual patterns on a screen. The EEG itself is painless and non-invasive. The study involves basic science research only—no new medication or treatment is being tested—so your participation focuses on completing these brain wave assessments to help researchers understand how psychosis affects visual perception in the brain.
