Rapid, reliable mobile assessment of affect-related motor processing.

ABSTRACT: Mobile technologies can be used for behavioral assessments to associate changes in behavior with environmental context and its influence on mental health and disease. Research on real-time motor control with a joystick, analyzed using a computational proportion-derivative (PD) modeling approach, has shown that model parameters can be estimated with high reliability and are related both to self-reported fear and to brain structures important for affective regulation, such as the anterior cingulate cortex. Here we introduce a mobile version of this paradigm, the rapid assessment of motor processing (RAMP) paradigm, and show that it provides robust, reliable, and accessible behavioral measurements relevant to mental health. A smartphone version of a previous joystick sensorimotor task was dev
