A study of brain response to antipsychotic medications using TMS-EEG
05 May 2023
We would like to invite you to take part as a healthy control participant in a study on the brain response to antipsychotics in people diagnosed with schizophrenia.
This study will involve 3 visits to our sites: screening, thinking assessment and neuroimaging. We will use a brain stimulation technique called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to activate the brain and we will record the brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG). Both TMS and EEG are safe and have been widely used.
