Evaluation of a Clinically Practical, ERP-Based Neurometric Battery: Application to Age-Related Changes in Brain Function

Calls for improvements in the classification and diagnosis of mental disorders have emphasized the integration of emerging technologies and neurobiological evidence with existing methods ("NIMH · The National Institute of Mental Health Strategic Plan," 2014). Projects such as the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) initiative underscore a growing need for clinically practical assessments designed to provide reliable biomarkers of cognitive dysfunction (Insel et al., 2010; Sanislow et al., 2010). As a noninvasive, cost-effective, and flexible technology, EEG holds promise in this area, and event-related potentials (ERPs), in particular, have great prospective value as indices of neural and cognitive function (Luck et al., 2011)(McLoughlin et al., 2014).
