Research focus
Currently our clinical research efforts are mostly directed towards small-group studies on executive dysfunction related conditions (e.g. frontal TBI, focal epilepsy, Sclerosis Multiplex forms, MCI) where cognitive training activities can benefit the neuropsychological rehabilitation goals.
The main aim for Cognuse is training concept and method validation feedback that we can use for fine-tuning and improving our products. In the studies a number of well-established screening tests and executive functions assessment batteries are used for baseline and training effects measurements.
We are also looking into engaging non-invasive brain scanning techniques (MEG, fMRI and others) as well as cortical stimulation methods e.g. TMS into clinical studies.
Cognuse welcomes researchers, scientists, and clinical professionals interested in carrying out clinical research using our cognitive training exercises and database. For more information or to talk to us about specific opportunities, please contact our CSO.
