Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators goal is to validate the Brain Health Registry's online cognitive measures developed by Lumosity. Investigators will meet this goal by collecting data from the newly developed BHR online cognitive screening battery along with standardized measures of memory, attention, executive functioning and speed of information processing currently used in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease.
Investigators will enroll 1000 subjects, 500 of whom will be recruited upon registering in the BHR. The other 500 subjects will be recruited from the Memory and Aging Center at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the Center for Imaging of Neurodegenerative Diseases (CIND) at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC). Demographic and clinical data will be obtained for each participant who will have 3 tests of cognitive function over a 2 week period: 1) unsupervised online cognitive testing, 2) supervised online cognitive testing, and 3) standard clinical neuropsychological assessments. The order in which cognitive evaluations are administered will be equally distributed within the sample so as to minimize practice effects. These subjects will also provide a saliva specimen in order to determine their ApoE genotype.
Additionally, investigators will also conduct a small pilot study of 34 subjects to obtain one 3 Tesla MRI scan and one PET scan in order to obtain feasibility data for collecting longitudinal neuroimaging studies for participants in this sample.
In addition to the main validation project and MRI/PET substudy, we will also run a substudy (n=330) that looks to validate an additional unsupervised online cognitive measure (administered via iPad application) called ReVeRe. ReVeRe, is an automated, self-administered measure of verbal memory (word list recall) that is modeled after the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test.
There are two substudies for ReVeRe:
ReVeRe 1 (n=250): This approximately 30 minute procedure will be administered initially during the NVP participant's clinic visit, and then will be collected remotely (by participants at home) on: (1) Day 7 after the initial clinic testing, (2) Day 21 after the initial clinic testing, and (3) ongoing at 6 month intervals through at least 18 months - for a total of 6 administrations.
ReVeRe 2 (n=80): This approximately 30 minute procedure will be administered initially 2 weeks after a follow up in-clinic visit, and then will be collected remotely in burst intervals. There will be three administrations at each time point (Day 0, 3, and 7), which will be collected every 6 months for 24 months after the in-clinic follow up visit. All participants in ReVeRe 2 will also receive an amyloid PET scan, as long as they did not already participate in the MRI/PET substudy.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Main Study Recruits
Participants are recruited to come into a clinic and take supervised cognitive tests both online and paper/pencil as well as take unsupervised online cognitive tests at home. Participants will also be given a spit kit in clinic to determine ApOE Status.
Validation Study
MRI & PET Substudy
A subset of 34 participants from the Main Study Recruits will be invited to have an MRI and PET scan. The purpose of the sub-study is to obtain feasibility data for collecting longitudinal neuroimaging studies for participants in this sample.
Validation Study
ReVeRe 1
A subset of 250 participants from the Main Study Recruits and all MRI \& PET Substudy participants will be invited to participate in ReVeRe 1. The purpose of ReVeRe is to validate an additional unsupervised online cognitive measure, administered via an iPad application.
Validation Study
ReVeRe 2
A subset of approximately 80 participants from the Main Study Recruits and MRI \& PET Substudy participants will be invited to participate in ReVeRe 2. The purpose of ReVeRe 2 is to determine if performance on ReVeRe test battery is sensitive to amyloid positivity in cognitively intact older adults and also sensitive to longitudinal cognitive decline in this patient population.

Validation Study
Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Fluent in English
* Able to give informed consent
* Access and the ability to use the internet
Exclusion Criteria
* Evidence of acute or uncontrolled medical illness
* Recent history (\< 6 months) of abuse or dependence of drugs and/or alcohol
* Significant neurological disease (ex. Parkinson's disease, Epilepsy, Traumatic brain injury)
Additionally, subjects participating in the neuroimaging portion of the study, will be excluded for any of the following:
* Unable or unwilling to travel to SFVAMC and UCSF China Basin campuses for MRI and PET procedures
* Contraindications for MR exam, including claustrophobia, paramagnetic metal implants, inability to fit comfortably in MRI (BMI \< 38)
* Clinically significant hepatic, renal, pulmonary, metabolic or endocrine disturbances as indicated by history which in the opinion of the Investigator might pose a potential safety risk to the subject
* Current clinically significant cardiovascular disease. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease usually includes one or more of the following:
* Cardiac surgery or myocardial infarction within the last 4 weeks
* Unstable angina
* Acute decompensated congestive heart failure or class IV heart failure
* Current significant cardiac arrhythmia or conduction disturbance, particularly those resulting in ventricular fibrillation, or causing syncope, or near syncope
* Uncontrolled high blood pressure
* QTc \> 450 msec
* History of drug or alcohol abuse within the last year, or prior prolonged history of abuse
* Women of childbearing potential who are not surgically sterile, not refraining from sexual activity or not using reliable methods of contraception. Women of childbearing potential must not be pregnant or breastfeeding at screening.
* History of relevant severe drug allergy or hypersensitivity.
* Receiving an investigational medication under an FDA IND protocol within the last 30 days. Additionally, the time between the last dose of the previous experimental medication and enrollment (completion of screening assessments) must be at least equal to 5 times the terminal half-life of the previous experimental medication. Subjects who have ever participated in an experimental study with an amyloid targeting therapy (e.g., immunotherapy, secretase inhibitor) may not be enrolled without prior sponsor approval unless it can be demonstrated that the patient received only placebo in the course of the trial.
* Current clinically significant unstable medical comorbidities, as indicated by history that pose a potential safety risk to the subject
* Receiving a radiopharmaceutical for imaging or therapy within the past 24 hours prior to the imaging session for this study
* Opinion of the Investigator that the subject is otherwise an unsuitable for study
