Psychotic patients distinguished from controls while watching movie 'Alice in Wonderland'

(European College of Neuropsychopharmacology) Researchers using fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) have found that even first-episode psychotic patients process information differently from a control group. To ensure both groups experienced the same brain stimuli, the measurements were taken while the subjects watched a movie, Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland.' The work is being presented at the 28th ECNP Conference in Amsterdam.
