Project Type(s):
Clinical Research

This PTSD-focused methods-development EEG project aims to develop new tools for a) predicting PTSD treatment response, b) understanding the underlying biological process, and c) supporting the development of new treatments for PSTD. We are using an event-related potential (ERP) paradigm to develop non-invasive, easily implemented in clinic biomarker to provide useful information about the neurobiology of PTSD. The specific goals are to 1) collect ERP data within a veteran population before and after treatment with methylphenidate, 2) design data analysis methods that maximize available data, and 3) add to ongoing effort of translating technological advancements for PTSD research.
