Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of goal-directed delayed response task (G-DR task). We examined the effect of the task on patients with Schizophrenia. We also analyzed the neuronal activity during the working memory task by magnetoencephalography. The intervention study to patients with schizophrenia suggested that the effect of the G-DR task was various according to the symptom and level of disability of the patients. And the magnetoencephalography study suggested that alpha activity during the working memory task in the parieto-occipital area reflected the visual attention.
