Brain Resource International Database Paradigms
Data collection occurs in three distinct stages:
- Laboratory referral – process information, informed consent, web information and login details
- Client registration – on-line completion of demographic questionnaires
- Laboratory Assessment –
Psychophysiological paradigms - EEG, ERP, ECG, arousal, respiration rate
Psychometric paradigms – touchscreen interface, sound files recorded
DNA – Cheek swab
The International Brain Database also includes the following testing:
- Structural MRI (sMRI)
MPRAGE sequence (volume analysis of individual structures).
- Functional MRI (fMRI)
Go-Nogo; Auditory oddball; Working memory and Face emotion processing paradigms.
