SILICON NEURAL

APPLIED SPATIAL COGNITION RESEARCH

 

The development of simple methods for assessing and monitoring cognitive performance is more important than ever before.


The global prevalence of brain disorders leading to cognitive decline will increase significantly in the future but new treatments and management approaches are available for certain conditions. There has never been a more important time develop novel technologies for the early assessment and monitoring of cognitive function.

As new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders are developed it will be critical to identify novel biomarkers of safety and efficacy. Digital biomarkers are an important potential tool in clinical trials for assessing medicines safety or efficacy due to their non-invasive nature, ability to deploy widely and remotely, and relative low cost.

Silicon Neural aims to develop novel digital biomarkers of spatial cognition that can be validated and used in clinical practice, either alone or in combination with other approaches.
 

Our Spatial Cognition Research Platform

Our research platform in development is the first of its kind. It is a cognitive function assessment tool based on fundamental principles underlying the neurophysiology of spatial cognition. The platform can be deployed on a desktop computer or tablet to investigate spatial cognition characteristics and predict related human behaviour.

Not simply based on pattern recognition or assessment of ability to perform simple tasks, the platform is also able to predict elements of behaviour due to its grounding in spatial cognition research.

Using our platform Silicon Neural aims to understand how the brain performs in certain tasks across varying populations and external environmental scenarios as well as predicting responses to external changes of the environment.

The platform is being developed for a range of potential uses that will be described here as the pipeline expands.
