What this trial studies

This study aims to identify deficits in intra- and interpersonal multimodal synchronizations during social interactions in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. Participants will engage in various conversational tasks with an interaction partner, followed by completing questionnaires and neuropsychological tests. The study focuses on how auditory and visual channels contribute to communication and social feedback. By analyzing these interactions, researchers hope to gain insights into the social functioning of individuals with schizophrenia.
