New brain-training game could help schizophrenia sufferers

Researchers have created a mobile game to help support schizophrenia sufferers.

The Wizard brain-training game is intended to boost episodic memory in people with schizophrenia. That’s the type of memory needed to remember where you’ve parked your car or left your keys, and it’s particularly impaired in schizophrenia sufferers. With no licensed drug treatment for such cognitive impairments, this game could be a way of helping people cope in their daily lives, and it could even help them get back to work.
