Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of the research study is to use recordings of brain electrical activity (through electroencephalogram, or EEG) and symptom measurements to determine whether patients are likely to show a response to medication or placebo treatment during a treatment trial for depression.
