About this trial
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).

NeuroCatch® Platform 2
DeviceThe NeuroCatch® Platform 2, a medical device system developed by NeuroCatch Inc., consists of software and hardware that captures brain health information. The platform intends to provide a quick, portable and easy to use solution for the acquisition, display, analysis, storage, reporting and management of electroencephalograph (EEG) and event-related potential (ERP; brain response to a stimulus) information. The device is approved as a medical device by Health Canada.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Amplitude & Latency collection for NeuroCatch® Platform 2
Response size (amplitude in microvolts) and response timing (latency in milliseconds) will be collected for the ERPs N100, P300 and N400.
Demographic indicators
Demographic indicators to be collected such as year of birth, sex, level of education.
Secondary outcomes
Assessing Influences on Brain Function: NeuroCatch® to Lifestyle and Health Factors
Measurements include: current medications, mood, total sleep hours, caffeine and alcohol intake, nicotine and psychoactive substance use, as well as any medications taken within 24 hours before the scan, noting whether each is more, less, or equal to the participant's typical amount.
Other outcomes
Safety assessments
Safety assessments will me assessed by subjective report of incidence and severity of adverse events.
