Deep Cognitive Endophenotyping of Parkinson's Disease: A Platform Development and Pilot Study
This is a feasibility and pilot study. Though large-scale online neurocognitive testing is increasingly being done in psychiatry, there are no such efforts in Parkinson's research. Thus a large part of this pilot study will be to demonstrate feasibility and reliability, and use this experience to develop a feasible protocol for ongoing research. The specific short-term objectives are:
1. To establish the feasibility of performing large-scale deep cognitive phenotyping using online cognitive testing. 2. To demonstrate that online neurocognitive testing is valid and reliable in a smaller sample of locally recruited participants tested both in-lab and online.
Inclusion: diagnosis of Parkinson's disease by neurologist or healthy individual with no diagnosis of any neurological illness.
Exclusion: Psychotic spectrum disorders, active uncontrolled depression, advanced dementia (i.e. needing assistance with daily activities such as dressing or bathing), major stroke, major head injury, epilepsy requiring anti-seizure medications.
