Abstract:
1. A method of evaluating the efficacy of treatment of a neuropsychiatric disorder of a patient at a remote site comprising the steps of: presenting a first cognitive task to the patient at the remote site; recording a first steady state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) corresponding to when the patient is presented with the first cognitive task; administering a dose of psychotropic medication to the patient; presenting a second cognitive task to the patient at the remote site, the second cognitive task being similar to or the same as the first cognitive task; recording a second steady state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) corresponding to when the patient is presented with the second cognitive task; and assessing at a central site the efficacy of the psychotropic medication on the basis of differences between the first and second SSVEPs.
