Digital Epidemiology Study on Brain Functioning

Neurobiology has improved the integrative understanding of brain development. With digital technologies, digital (bio)markers would be relevant variables for a better understanding of the heterogeneity of cognitive and behavioral functioning in developing children. However, the dominant statistical approach of group comparison tends to ignore intragroup variability. Applying high-dimensional data sets through multivariate methods and then combining their scores via predictive model learning algorithms would allow the identification of subtypes. Thus, EPIDIA4KIDS wants to understand the brain functioning of children aged 7 to 12 years old from heterogeneous data sources collected from a touchscreen tablet.
