Enables Advanced Neurological Research

Cognitive psychology and clinical neuroscience disciplines aim to understand how the brain processes information. While human cognition researchers have access to a broad range of technologies, the most direct way to measure many fundamental cognitive processes is by using COGNISION®. COGNISION® uses quantitative EEG (qEEG) and Event Related Potential (ERP) tests to record and analyze the brain’s electrical activity, both at rest and when responding to external stimuli.

Practical Implementation in an Academic Lab

COGNISION® facilitates complex qEEG and ERP testing through a platform that has many unique benefits when compared to other systems. Advantages include:

  • High-quality data available in any testing environment
  • Convenient biosensors designed for easy, rapid set-up with minimal clean-up
  • Portable, wireless operation that can be used in any clinical setting
  • Sophisticated protocol development application for flexible test design
  • Automated data analysis for rapid evaluation of test results
  • Cloud-based software for data sharing in multi-center studies

 

Streamlined and User-centric

  • The hardware was designed to be very patient-friendly, easy and fast to set up, and operate even for users with minimal electrophysiology training.
  • The system produces exceptionally high-fidelity data in normal office settings.
  • The software was developed to provide the most advanced functionality through and easy and intuitive user interface.
  • The system architecture supports large-scale data collection through the internet in order to facilitate the multi-center studies necessary for clinical validation.
  • Modern integrated electronic packaging makes for a low-cost system for use at numerous sites in large-scale trials.
  • The system implements the most scientifically validated neuro-electric protocols which can be selected from an online library and run in a fully automated way.
  • The data preprocessing and analysis pipeline is predefined for each test protocol which facilitates complex analyses with minimal user input, even for studies with large “n”.
