Abstract
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the nonprofit organization, The Many Brains Project, have partnered with the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) All of Us Research Program to adapt a series of new game‐like tasks that are part of the All of Us Research Program's participant experience, according to an NIMH news release. The quizzes, puzzles and other engaging exercises measure abilities like attention span, decision‐making and emotion recognition. The All of Us Research Program is a large‐scale effort spearheaded by NIH to collect and study data from at least one million people in the United States. People who participate in the program are asked to complete surveys on different topics, share data from their electronic health records, complete online tasks and provide biological samples (such as saliva). NIMH is interested in collecting data on some of the factors that are part of the RDoC [Research Domain Criteria] framework, such as cognition, social and reward processes from a large, diverse pool of participants — just the type of participant cohort being built through All of Us. When combined with the information learned from the new gamified tasks, this data could help researchers understand what leads to mental disorders, how they develop and the most effective ways to treat them.
