NeuroCatch Reference Interval Database

Brain Function | Healthy Controls

The purpose of this study is to understand how the brain responds to sounds and words, and how this response varies between individuals. The purpose if this study is to develop data set comparing the results from one individual with those from other members (a reference interval database of NeuroCatch® Platform 2) and to quantify the expected distribution across sex and age. NeuroCatch® Platform 2, is a medical device approved by Health Canada. The plan is to enroll 810 participants, the study includes screening for eligibility and one brain scan. The study is conducted at the Centre for Neurology Studies in Surrey, BC or at its satellite sites ( if required).
