Is Sleep a Form of Biohacking?

April 04, 2018

Sleep deprivation will negatively impact your Brain Gauge scores; optimal sleep will optimize your brain health.
One of the most simple and straightforward Brain Gauge tests is the simple reaction time test (RT). This type of test is commonly used as a good “first glance” at overall brain health. In this test, a delayed response time can be a strong indication that there is something unusual happening with your brain. However, this metric is very sensitive to a number of lifestyle factors (such as lack of sleep, medication side effects,

Brain Gauge Concussion Scoring

August 22, 2017

An introduction to the scoring system used in the Brain Gauge App.

The results are in! With over 2000 subjects in our concussion study, we have some pretty solid results for you to compare with. The below table shows each individual Brain Gauge measure with the corresponding raw score values for predicted healthy subjects, healthy average subjects, and concussed subjects.
If you are interested in learning more about each individual metric and where it comes from, you can look at the "What Do My Scores Mean?" handout.

Concussion Study Update

March 15, 2017

A summary of the results from an ongoing concussion study.

Summary of previous report: Our brain health assessment system is composed of a test device (the Brain Gauge; above) and a number of tests that task different mechanisms of information processing (e.g., lateral inhibition, adaptation, feed-forward inhibition, neuron-glial interactions). The results of these tests are then used to generate an overall performance score (or cortical metric). Sports concussion studies using this technology and protocols have established efficacy for detecting mTBI and tracking its recovery, demonstrating a 99% confidence level

Large Changes to ProTools coming this week

January 17, 2017

Announcement of software release for new analysis package.
We will be rolling out a few major changes to those of you using our ProTools software at some point this week. The software you know and love is largely staying the same, but we have tweaked the way data sessions are viewed by introducing a more efficient and intuitive data timeline. We are dedicated to providing updates to improve our system, and we think you'll enjoy the new features and find that this new version of ProTools is much faster.

Case study: Promising Results with Pre-Parkinson's Disease

October 21, 2016

Brain Gauge data from treatment of one of Dr. Phil Schalow’s patients with pre-Parkinson’s
condition.

We’ve been busy getting ready to launch the Brain Gauge, but meanwhile, there's lots of great news from our users of the Brain Gauge Pro to report on……we’ll do our best to catch up by having several newsletters in the next few weeks.

In the last post, we highlighted Timing Perception and told you which scientific findings related to it. In brief, a simple measure of timing perception (or duration

Improvements in Brain Gauge performance parallel mTBI recover

September 27, 2016

Brain Gauge data improves in mTBI patient after treatment with Dr. George Roth.

Dr. George Roth has consistently provided reports that demonstrate patient improvement in corticalmetrics post-treatment.

cmi2
A 40 year old patient suffered direct left parietal head trauma from a motor vehicle collision, and 8 months post-trauma, the patient continued to suffer from cognitive, visual, and vestibular disorders. Patient was also sensitive to light and noise, reported neck pain, and was unable to continue in her post-graduate program. The patient had sustained one previous concussion in 2005.

Case Study: NUCCA treatment leads to neurological improvement

January 12, 2016

Brain Gauge scores show improvement with treatment.

cmi1-1

A 54 year old male was tested before and after a NUCCA correction for his C-1 vertebra being out of alignment.

Brain Gauge tests were collected before correction and 4 hours after correction. Note significant across the board improvement in all metrics, which matched the patient’s qualitative self-report on the outcome.

The next issue of corticalmetrics insights will feature a mTBI case contributed by Dr. George Roth.

Acknowledgment: Thanks to Dr. Kerry Johnson for his contribution.

Welcome to the Cortical Metrics Blog

The Table of Contents is your friend…
Our Blog is a bit different from other blogs in that we don’t consider the posts as being time dependent. While new findings are sometimes the topic of a post, we consider the posts timeless. That is – the most informative articles may not be the most recent. Additionally, the overall comprehensive nature of the Blog might be difficult to grasp if you are scrolling through the first few posts. So here is a table of contents for your convenience and hopefully, it
