First, it moves and lands the eyes in the wrong place more frequently, requiring it to make additional subsequent moves in order to visually process information effectively. In our studies, we found that the brain does some strange things when it is tired. others in a similar population over time.

This allows for thoughtful comparison of self vs. Upon test completion, the PIR can be compared against prior PIR’s of the same individual, and against other members of the same organization. The Performance Index Rating (PIR) provides an aggregate score of each combined test completed. In the performance report, each domain is displayed as an individual score.
#Prosync solutions series
Using a series of 30 second tests, PRO-SYNC captures the following domains each, and rates them on a scale of 0-100: With a novel cognitive screening battery in tow, we can objectively capture and score critical areas of cognition. With our original hypothesis in mind, and after hundreds of hours of testing and refinement, we deliver a mechanism for objectively capturing and improving brain state activity in otherwise normal people. Today, many years later, we launch our first non-medical Brain Performance solution intended for all humans. For the first time in my career as a healthcare provider, I truly felt like I was being proactive with my patients. In the same way providing targeted therapies addresses deficits after concussion, the otherwise “normal” population demonstrated that they too could benefit from screening, monitoring, and training. Then, when we initiated training protocols, the deficits improved and often resolved entirely.

When we implemented recovery strategies on the fatigued population, these deficits became manageable and resolved secondary risks such as musculoskeletal injury. So when I built a Brain Performance testing location inside the varsity weight room shortly thereafter, I wanted to understand the most important question of all. Furthermore, we found that cognitive fatigue was the most common factor responsible for degraded performance. After 4 years of baseline testing elite athletes at Stanford, we found that over 40% had subclinical deficits that contributed to poor brain performance. The need for PRO-SYNC really came into focus when we tested our hypothesis. For special populations like athletes, soldiers, pilots, and CEO’s, that would not even be enough – we would need to provide a path to optimization. And we would have to go a step further than just identification, we would also need strategies to remediate. This single question led me to the working hypothesis that perhaps many of us could improve our brain function, especially if we were carrying around previously unidentified sub clinical deficits. I’ve been thinking about this question every day for the past 7 years. “Why do we have to wait for an injury to occur to identify deficiencies?” I continually asked myself this question over and over again. One thought, however, lingered above the rest, and stayed with me for years. I read everything I could find on the topic, including studies dating back to the 1960’s where eye movement assessments were first introduced in schizophrenia patients. However, when I develop an insatiable curiosity about something novel (and potentially game changing) I become relentless in my pursuit of new knowledge. Prior to that, I had read little and heard even less about the clinical utility of eye movement assessments in acute conditions such as concussion. In 2015, I was first introduced to a military grade prototype of EYE-SYNC. OctoBlog: The Story of PRO-SYNC: Why Everyone Needs Brain Performance Technology
