The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $344,357 Project Grant under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (doing business as Shirley Ryan AbilityLab) to validate non-linguistic laboratory biomarkers for detecting depression in individuals with aphasia. The study aims to assess the ability of three laboratory tests - heart rate variability, pupil dilation, and gaze duration - to identify depression in persons with aphasia, who often have difficulty reporting on their inner experiences verbally. The project will also test whether the biomarkers predict day-to-day experiences of affect and social interaction, and establish the reliability of the biomarkers. The study involves a sub-award to Northwestern University, where a co-investigator will assist with data interpretation, manuscript writing, and mentoring the early-career principal investigator.
