What We Do
The brain is central to every aspect of our lives, yet it isn’t monitored with the same consistency and proactivity as other vital signs. As a neuroscience technology company, we believe that better brain health insights lead to better brain health outcomes. That's why we're on a mission to democratize cognitive health by radically simplifying the way it is measured. For more than 20 years, we’ve proudly supported the research needs of biopharmaceutical companies and academic institutions, and the clinical care needs of physicians and individuals around the world. We create easy to use digital tests that provide rapid, reliable, and science-backed results and offer solutions that support the highest fidelity measurements possible. We believe our team members should have flexibility as to how, when, and where they work. We work flexibly to support our global team, who mostly work from home––and offer opportunities for face-to-face collaboration at our offices in New Haven, Melbourne, and London. Our team members also have access to co-working spaces around the world.
