NeuroVigil, the company that has developed high resolution and high throughput software algorithms to seek out changes in neurobiological activity from a single sensor, its proprietary iBrain portable neural monitor, has partnered with the American Senior Housing Association (ASHA) to gather tremendous quantities of new and highly useful data. The plan is to have thousands of volunteers living in senior housing share their brain activity data to identify how sleep, diet, or other changes in lifestyle affect the aging brain.
The iBrain device works with the proprietary SPEARS algorithm that converts EEG data into a map of brain activity. It can identify unusual patterns and can notice day to day changes in the brain’s activity. The initial launch of the program will include more than 20,000 iBrain units.
