Exploring the Potential of High-Density Data for Neuropsychological Testing with Coregraph

Coregraph is a tool under development that allows us to collect high-density data patterns during the administration of classic neuropsychological tests such as the Trail Making Test and Clock Drawing Test. These tests are widely used to evaluate cognitive function and screen for neurodegenerative disorders, but traditional methods of data collection only yield sparse information, such as test completion time or error types. By contrast, the high-density data collected with Coregraph may contribute to a better understanding of the cognitive processes involved in executing these tests. In addition, Coregraph may potentially revolutionize the field of cognitive evaluation by aiding in the prediction of cognitive deficits and in the identification of early signs of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's dementia. By analyzing high-density graphomotor data through techniques like manual feature engineering and machine learning, we can uncover patterns and relationships that would be otherwise hidden with traditional methods of data analysis. We are currently in the process of determining the most effective methods of feature extraction and feature analysis to develop Coregraph to its full potential.
