Brain Resource International Database Paradigms Data collection occurs in three distinct stages: Laboratory referral – process information, informed consent, web information and login details Client registration – on-line completion of demographic questionnaires Laboratory Assessment – Psychophysiological paradigms  - EEG, ERP, ECG, arousal, respiration rate Psychometric paradigms – touchscreen interface, sound files recorded DNA – Cheek swab The International Brain Database also includes the following testing: Structural MRI (sMRI) Dual echo sequence (separation of gray, white matter and CSF). MPRAGE sequence (volume analysis of individual structures). Functional MRI (fMRI) Go-Nogo; Auditory oddball; Working memory and Face emotion processing paradigms.
