The Research behind
NeuroCatch®


Since the earliest evoked responses were reported in 1939, there are now over 150,000 published studies on the PubMed.gov database. The NeuroCatch® Platform measures three event-related potentials (ERPs) that are direct measures of cognitive function: N100, P300, and N400 responses.

The following shows some of the published research that created the foundational work for NeuroCatch®; the benchmarking studies that were published in international peer-reviewed journals demonstrating these ERPs could be linked to established clinical neuropsychological test; and the studies that include NeuroCatch® as a primary outcome measure for cognition.
