What this research studies

This project creates a shared system to support several important studies focused on understanding mental health and how our brains work. These studies look at how people categorize things, process events, and make decisions, which are all related to how we understand the world around us. The goal is to make it simpler to find people who want to participate and to conduct these tests remotely, removing common barriers to joining research. We are also developing special software to make these remote tests more effective and accessible for individuals with different cognitive abilities.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Individuals interested in participating in studies related to mental health, anxiety, attention, and cognitive processes may be ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients not interested in participating in behavioral or cognitive assessments, or those whose conditions are unrelated to mental health or brain function, may not directly benefit from this specific core's activities.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to more precise ways to understand and identify the unique brain processes involved in various mental health conditions.

How similar studies have performed: This project builds upon existing methods and software for remote behavioral testing and clinical assessments, aiming to enhance their rigor and reach.
