Monitoring memory and cognitive (attention, learning, complex reasoning) function is now possible from the comfort of your own home by using BRCs web based assessment tool known as WebNeuro.

This is important for those who want to track their cognitive performance whether it be a parent wanting to see how their child is performing, or a clinician/parent wanting to measure the effects of treatment in conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder. Another important area is being able to monitor any signs of rapid degeneration in older adults. This can alert the individual to seek more comprehensive assessment before it is too late.

If you would like to start using WebNeuro please contact us directly and we will set you up with the appropriate logins or please contact us for a consultation for an assessment at one of our brain function laboratories. We will review your results and let you know if further assessment is required.

Monitoring the disease process in progressive disorders such as AD is crucial (Damian et al., 2005). However, many existing test batteries are either too long, too difficult, and too costly to administer and score, and they DO NOT offer the required multiple versions for retest. This limits their utility for tracking disease progression or for monitoring clinical outcomes (Randolph et al., 1998). Our use of Brain Resource Company (BRC) technology and multiple test versions overcomes this limitation and permits repeated testing over time.
