Psychosis Spectrum Illness
Fast Facts
No Other neurological disorder
Study Background
Individuals who have been diagnosed with a psychosis spectrum illness, such as:
Receive brain scans (EEG and MRI) and help researchers understand thinking and problem solving skills. Participants may also be eligible to receive no-cost brain training after 6 months, which will help us understand how to help people with psychosis in the future.
Eligible participants will be compensated!
- schizophrenia
- schizoaffective disorder
- attenuated psychosis
- schizophreniform
- major depression with psychosis
- bipolar with psychosis

- Do not have a major neurological disorder, such as seizures, epilepsy, encephalitis, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's, Parkinson's, or stroke
Participation in the study involves three to four visits (in total, about 15 hours) over 6 months. Participation involves computerized tasks, interviews and questionnaires, MRI brain scans, in which participants have an EEG tests at the same time. Participation in the optional phase 2 of the study involves two to three visits (in total, about 18 hours) over an additional 6 months and would involve the same above tasks with the addition of cognitive training on an ipad.
Eligible participants will be compensated! Compensation breakdown is as follows:
- Baseline visits: Up to $285
- 6 month Follow Up visits: Up to $255
- Training Period: Up to $250
- Post-Training visits: Up to $255
- Final Follow Up visits: Up to $305
- In addition, there will be monthly check-in calls, which are $10 each month
There is no cost for you to participate in our research program.
