What is this study about?

The multi-project research initiative examines how state representation is relevant to psychosis. The overall goal of the project is to gain a better understanding of the connection between changes in neural information processing and state representation. The second phase of this project will examine cognitive training for patients with early psychosis to determine whether the training programs impact state representation. Findings in our study can help develop treatments for people with psychosis that are better tailored to each individual.
