Cognition and Mood Evolution across Time
The COMET website ('Cognition and Mood Evolution across Time') is used by research projects which aim to explore mood instability and cognitive function in individuals who show symptoms of mood disorder, and compare this to individuals who have never experienced problematic moods.
We explore mood instability and cognitive function using daily app-based tasks presented on an iPad, as well as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and MEG (Magnetoencephalography) neuroimaging techniques. We also use modern "wearable" technologies that tell us about an individual's activity patterns and physical state.
The COMET study started in March 2015, and is run by our research team at the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity (OHBA), Department of Psychiatry, Warneford Hospital, Oxford, OX3 7JX. To learn more about the COMET study, including how to get involved, please visit the study website.
The OxLith study started in August 2015, and is run by our research team at the Clinical Research Facility (CRF), Warneford Hospital, Oxford, OX3 7JX. Eligible patients will be invited to participate by their physician. For more information, please contact us at oxlith@psych.ox.ac.uk.
