Title - Preliminary Evidence of Improved Neutral Face Recognition Following Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Targeting Paranoia in Schizophrenia

Speaker: Pan Gu
PhD Student - Cognition and Neuroscience - UT Dallas

Emotion recognition biases are implicated in paranoia. We tested whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), a region subserving paranoia and emotional processes, could improve emotion recognition in actively paranoid patients with schizophrenia-spectrum disorder (SSD).

Light snacks will be provided.
