Pilot Investigation of Senseye's Ocular Brain-Computer Interface (OBCI) for Diagnosis of Adult With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

This pilot study will investigate the feasibility, acceptability, repeatability, accuracy, and efficacy of operator-independent Senseye Ocular Brain-Computer Interface (OBCI) diagnostic tool to assess the presence and severity of PTSD symptoms and monitor response to trauma-informed interventions. After informed consent, 68 adults - 34 with PTSD and 17 adults with significant trauma exposure but no PTSD, and 17 healthy adults without known major psychiatric disorders, aged 18-65 years old, will be recruited and undergo OBCI diagnostic tool, comparing against gold standards tools- the CAPS-5, UCLA PTSD Reaction Index for DSM-5 (PTSD-RI). Fifteen participants will undergo repeatability and reproducibility assessments. Adults with PTSD will receive a standard of care trauma-informed interventions for eight weeks, and their biopsychosocial characteristics, Senseye OBCI, neuropsychiatric measures will be measured at baseline and week 9. Using Senseye's machine learning algorithm, Senseye OBCI will use a facecam recorder during a series of visual tasks, pupil light reflex, and heart rate measurement throughout.
