Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to test the ability of a brainwave measurement device (SLEEPSCOPE) in identifying and assisting in the diagnosis of depression. The brainwave data from individuals with untreated depression and healthy participants will be collected and analyzed. The ability to obtain brainwave data from individuals in their homes while they're sleeping would represent a significant advance in depression research.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of study is to collect and analyze human sleeping brainwave data, to better understand depression in humans.

First visit:

* Informed consent procedures, including explanation of research background, purpose, details of implementation, and study benefits and risks
* Interview with questionnaires (MINI International Psychiatric Interview, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, Beck Depression Inventory, Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression \[PHQ-9\]), physical examination.
* Urine drug sample for screening of controlled substances.
* Inform participants that those qualifying will be informed whether or not to proceed with second visit

Second visit:

* Explanation of EEG measurement (placement of two electrodes, one on the forehead and one behind the ear)
* Sleep diary provided for participant to complete at home for each night until third visit
* Distribution of EEG devices for home use
* EEG measurement conducted at participant's residence for three nights of stable sleep-wake cycles

Third visit:

\- Collect EEG devices and check completeness of downloaded data

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Individuals with Untreated Depression

32 participants diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder by a psychiatric specialist of this research according to MINI screening and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) criteria, and defined as a score of 15 or higher on the clinician-administered Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, Beck Depression Inventory, and Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression (PHQ-9). The participants will be attached to the SLEEPSCOPE device.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SLEEPSCOPE

Intervention Type DEVICE

Brainwave measurement device which is connected to the participant by an electrode attached to the forehead and another electrode behind one ear

Healthy Participants

32 healthy participants with absence of mental disorders, including but not limited to depression and sleep disorders, by a psychiatric specialist according to MINI screening and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) criteria, and negative Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, Beck Depression Inventory, and Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression (PHQ-9). The participants will be attached to the SLEEPSCOPE device.

Healthy Participants:

\- 16 men and 16 women age-, ethnic-, and gender-matched healthy participants to the cohort with untreated depression, with absence of mental disorders, including but not limited to depression and sleep disorders, by a psychiatric specialist according to MINI screening and DSM-5 criteria, and negative Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, Beck Depression Inventory, and Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression (PHQ-9).
