PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose: The current research plan involves the study of neurophysiological assessments of attentional, cognitive flexibility, and arousal responses associated with clinical symptoms in youth. Tracking eye movements is critical to making inferences about what information individuals are attending and how information is being processed in the context of emotional and neutral stimuli. As such, eye tracking is necessary to the research NIH is planning to conduct in NNT as is in line with ongoing research conducted more broadly in EDB and with other collaborators.

2. Background Information and Objective: The Neuroscience and Novel Therapeutics

(NNT) Unit with collaboration with other labs in the Emotion and Development Branch

(EDB) are expanding the research that involves tracking eye movements as they provide valuable correlates of cognitive and information processing across various of clinical phenomena. NIH is designing a number of tasks for this purpose which are conducted on healthy and clinical youth populations with the aim to be able to have mobility and record data naturality and outside of laboratory settings. Eye movement data will be central to many of NIH’s behavioral studies, and it requires the flexibility to be able to perform eye-tracking measures both in our behavioral testing rooms as well as other in other settings. There is a growing need and interest within our lab to address a current gap in data collection and to obtain equipment that is portable and able to acquire data using eye movements. To this end, NIH would like to request purchasing portable eye tracking equipment.
