This trial is testing transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS)—a non-invasive procedure that uses gentle electrical currents applied to the scalp—to see if it can help improve working memory in people with schizophrenia. Working memory is your ability to hold and use information for short periods, and many people with schizophrenia find this challenging. The study will measure whether this treatment actually works and how it changes brain activity.
People with schizophrenia often struggle with working memory, which makes daily tasks and thinking more difficult. This trial exists to explore whether this form of brain stimulation could be a helpful tool to improve memory and thinking skills, and to understand how it works in the brain.

You would receive two brain stimulation sessions separated by one week. In one session, you'll receive active brain stimulation (real treatment), and in the other, you'll receive sham stimulation (a placebo that feels similar but delivers no real stimulation). During each 30-minute session, electrodes will be placed on your scalp, and you'll perform memory and thinking tasks on a computer while receiving the stimulation. The study will also record your brain activity and assess your symptoms and cognitive function.
