We are recruiting patients with obstructive sleep apnea, who:

The study would require you to:

• attend three in-person lab visits (2-3 hours each) at Northeastern University in Boston over the course of one year;
• participate in thinking and movement tasks and undergo scalp EEG during those three visits;
• let us install our data collection app on your phone during the first visit and keep it on your phone for one year;
• complete brief (10-15 min) thinking tests at home at months 2, 4, 8, and 10.

Participants who complete the study will receive $500 in gift cards and checks (one after each session), and we will cover parking fees.

Lab visits are available 7 days a week, including late evenings!
