mission
to improve the clinical care of individuals with neurological diseases. In the Neurobooth project, we will create new technologies that can:
Detect and diagnose early
stages of disease
Measure whether existing and new therapies are effective
Provide new types of useful information to patients and
their neurologists
Gain new insights about
disease and their underlying
mechanisms
the study
You will complete tasks that will measure your motor skills, eye movements, speech, and cognition.
