STUDY Opportunity for You: using brain training games to treat psychosis

The exercises in the study are slightly different than the ones currently available to the public. If the study goes well, these exercises will hopefully become available to the public soon.

To those wondering if this will affect there ssdi benefits read this article here -

It says that if it’s under 600$ it’s not reported to the IRS and also obama passed this law -

An exception: rare disease patients

In 2015, President Obama signed a bipartisan clinical trials compensation bill for rare-disease clinical trial participants. An update to a 2009 law, the two-page bill titled ā€œEnsuring Access to Clinical Trials Act of 2015ā€ allows patients with rare diseases to receive up to $2,000 per year without having the payment count as income that could jeopardize eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid.

That’s good. This study only pays $330 total.

I was put on a wait list, they’re supposed to contact me for the first session around June. Fine by me! Very interested in how it will go.

Same here.

And now we wait…

I get to do the free training games from them.
It’s one of my favorite.

I’m not on any meds right now due to lack of insurance, so I can’t qualify for this study~ Drats.

I just started using their app and it seems cool so far. I haven’t started the brain training exercises yet.

Keep us updated on how its going - this is really interesting and seems like it could help a lot of people.

I have officially started the study. I can’t say anything else about it now, because of the rules, but it’s a lot of fun!

I believe the study is running for two years, and they will be accepting new participants all throughout that time.

@Ninjastar Maybe you could occasionally bump this thread so new users see it in case they want to look into joining the study.

That’s interesting! I only have delusions, I don’t have an outpatient status and English isn’t my first language, so I wouldn’t qualify, but it sounds really interesting and I wish you good luck!

There’s a high quality working memory training app available totally free of charge at,

http://www.soakyourhead.com

It is free of charge for unlimited play and unlimited levels. No charge at all.

This isn’t a memory training app. It’s supposed to target hallucinations and social symptoms.

Did anybody do this??

I’m doing it currently. It’s pretty cool, but I signed a nondisclosure form, so I can’t give any more details.

They never called me lol

They said they would call me at the end of June, still haven’t heard from them.
