Summary

This study aims to find clear differences between tics (as in Tourette syndrome) and compulsions (as in OCD) by measuring brain activity and movement. Fifty patients will wear EEG headsets and smartwatches in the lab and at home. The goal is to improve diagnosis and guide better treatment choices, not to test a new therapy.
