Title: The Excitement of Tappigraphy
Abstract: The time-series of smartphone touchscreen interactions (tappigraphy) may help resolve the systematic links between brain functions and behavior in the real world. In this talk, I will provide an overview of tappigraphy, and how we are applying it to unravel human behavior in health and neurological disease. My talk will involve life span measurements, cognitive tests, brain implant recordings, and long-term behavioral monitoring. I will present straightforward statistical models linking tappigraphy to brain functions in healthy people, and machine learning approaches that help infer brain status based on tappigraphy inputs in Epilepsy and Stroke. These studies vividly demonstrate the potential of tappigraphy to investigate fundamental neuro-behavioral processes relevant to the real world.
