Normative QEEG/ERP Data for Healthy Volunteers

Description

Many scientific papers have reported that ERP and QEEG biomarkers can be useful in the evaluation of neurological and psychiatric disorders. A study previously conducted with the COGNISION® system has shown how data collected with the system could help detect cognitive deficits in elderly individuals with probable early Alzheimer's disease (Cecchi et al., 2015). Furthermore, normative ranges for ERP and QEEG parameters are sensitive to subject age (see for example van Dinteren et al., 2014). This study will use advanced EEG techniques to measure brain function among healthy adults ages 20 through 59 to use as reference data to compare against individuals that suffer from neurological and psychiatric disorders. QEEG and ERP parameters from the current study will compliment previously collected normative data in healthy subjects 60 years of age and older (Cecchi et al., 2015).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
