This study is an assessment of individuals' cognitive functioning through administration of NP and psychological instruments and EEG. These assessments do not require manipulation of a participant's environment to elicit change in behavior or treatment outcome. NP and psychological instruments.

Participants will complete a medical/psychiatric history questionnaire, and a standardized battery of neuropsychological (NP) tests and psychological instruments. EEG recording will be made as participants engage in tasks of basic perceptual or pre-attentive processes and selective attention. Following chemotherapy (and a matched interval for the no-chemotherapy and healthy control groups), the standardized battery of NP tests, psychological instruments, and EEG will be repeated.

This study is being done to find out if it is possible to enroll minority women with breast cancer in a study of how chemotherapy may affect their ability to answer certain questions and perform certain tasks that measure brain activity. The investigators want to look at thinking and brain activity in patients to see if cancer treatments can cause any brain changes. For this study, women without cancer, are being asked to participate in order to compare the answers to the questions and the brain wave activity measured in the women with cancer to women who don't have cancer.
