The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) has been suggested as a promising brain imaging tool for identifying biomarkers of brain health.
In this pilot study, study investigators will explore the neurophysiological metrics of brain health with a non-invasive brain imaging technique, alongside behavioral and fMRI metrics collected through another study (NCT04869111).
The Direct Electro-Physiological Imaging medical device (Delphi-MD), developed by QuantalX Neuroscience, combines both TMS and EEG technologies. This is a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to temporarily stimulate specific brain areas in participants, and the EEG device records brain electrophysiological response to the stimulation.
Recruitment for this pilot study will be restricted to participants in the imaging cohort of a separate study, The BrainHealth Project (NCT04869111). As that cohort is already completing behavioral and fMRI metrics, this exploratory study would allow study investigators to examine relevant associations between those metrics with the neurophysiological metrics from the Delphi device.
Study participants will complete two in-person sessions with the Delphi-MD device that align with their pre-scheduled imaging appointments.

| Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Training teaches meta-cognitive strategies for individuals to apply to their daily lives for improved performance | Behavioral | Online SMART is a curriculum that teaches strategies of how to use the brain better, in such a way that may improve brain health and performance. SMART strives to achieve optimal cognitive function realized by the brain's ability to efficiently manage complex information by abstracting its essential meaning rather than attempting to memorize details, and to prioritize the information in order to attend to the most relevant parts. Stress Solutions extends the SMART principles to relevant domains of stress and resilience. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation of DELPHI-MD Output Measures with the online BrainHealth Index | Evaluate the strength and significance of correlations between DELPHI-MD output metrics (e.g., cortical excitability, local/global mean field potentials, response amplitude, and latency) and scores from the BrainHealth Index. Unit of Measurement: Correlation coefficient (r). (Minimum value: -1.0, Maximum value: 1.0) (Higher value represents stronger correlation) | Up to one year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Correlation of DELPHI-MD Output Measures with Quantitative fMRI Metrics | Assess the relationships between DELPHI-MD output metrics and the following fMRI metrics collected in separate study (i) functional connectivity, (ii) cerebral blood flow, (iii) cerebrovascular reactivity, and (iv) white matter integrity. Unit of Measurement: Correlation coefficient (r). (Minimum value: -1.0, Maximum value: 1.0) (Higher value represents stronger correlation) |
