Study type | Observational |
This is an observational, non-interventional study that will recruit Healthy Volunteers (HV) and subjects with clinically confirmed Schizophrenia (SZ). The purpose of this study is to establish the mean and variance across the HV and SZ cohorts, sites, and repeated tests of the electroencephalogram(EEG)/Event-related potentials (ERP) measures.
