. To the best
of our knowledge, this is the first study to have developed a
neurotechnology using feedback directly from individuals
with schizophrenia to ensure that the narrative was understandable
and that playing the game was highly enjoyable.
We also used a neurobiological approach to CT based on previous
neuropsychological and neuroimaging published
findings. These data suggest that use of neurotechnologies
may serve to complement current psychological therapies
and/or psychopharmacological treatments for schizophrenia.
Neurotechnologies may also have potential as treatment applications
in other groups, such as healthy elderly individuals or
patients groups with memory-related difficulties (e.g. mild
cognitive impairment; traumatic brain injury). Using modern
technology in mental health may be one method for improving
patients’ active engagement in treatments [5]
