Performance Test (BPT) subtests and corresponding conventional in-person neuropsychological
assessments (NP).
This will be a multi-site, randomized, counterbalanced, two-period, two-sequence, validation
study of the online, unsupervised Brain Performance Test (BPT). Over the course of 14 days,
participants will complete two in-clinic visits during which they will complete both the BPT
and in-person neuropsychological assessments (NP).
