Is Sleep a Form of Biohacking?

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

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

A summary of the results from an ongoing concussion study.

alt

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

Improvements in Brain Gauge performance parallel mTBI recover

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.

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.
