Summary

The purpose of this study is to address the shortcoming in clinical hallucination research by causally manipulating the neural loci of conditioned hallucination task behavior in-person in patients with psychosis using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), tracking the impact of this manipulation on the number of times participants with hallucinations report hearing tones that were not presented. With such a causal intervention, the veracity of this explanation of hallucinations will be either validated or disconfirmed. If validated, the task can be further developed as a biomarker for predicting the hallucination onset, guiding, developing or tracking the effects of treatments for hallucinations.

DEVICE

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation in which a changing magnetic field is used to cause electric current at a specific area of the brain through electromagnetic induction. An electric pulse generator, or stimulator, is connected to a magnetic coil, which in turn is connected to the scalp. The stimulator generates a changing electric current within the coil which induces a magnetic field; this field then causes a second inductance of inverted electric charge within the brain itself.
