NYU School of Medicine's Brain Research Laboratories
BRL is under the direction of Dr. E. Roy John and Dr. Leslie Prichep, both Professors of Psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine. (Dr. Prichep also heads its Scientific Advisory Board.)

Dr. John pioneered the field of brain electrical activity assessment and today, BRL is a leader in the study of brain processes and the development of new mathematical methods and biomedical computing systems to analyze the brain’s electrical activity.

He and his colleagues developed and confirmed the hypothesis that the electrical activity of the brain evolves in a predictable way over time, from age 6 to 90, for all normally functioning humans, regardless of race, ethnicity or gender, and that mathematical equations (specifically regression equations) can be used to describe the process – a finding that has been replicated in 15 countries and established by more than three decades of research. This fundamental law of nature makes the existence of the BrainScope possible, because it establishes age-relative norms for brain activity, and thus allows for comparisons on a given patient’s brain with his or her peer group.

BRL’s researchers have also shown that brain ailments, like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, cause the brain’s electrical activity to vary from age expected normal values in distinctive ways – the patterns of which can be identified mathematically, precisely what the BrainScope’s algorithms do.

BRL has also been engaged for more than 30 years in building the world’s largest database of brainwave recordings, which has been instrumental to the development and testing of the algorithms in the Bx platform.

Plain Sight Systems
PSS and its Founder, CTO and Chairman, Dr. Ronald Coifman, have pioneered in the development of extraction algorithms and digital signal processing (DSP) technologies for a wide range of applications in defense, consumer electronics, and medicine, among other areas. Dr. Coifman is also Phillips Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Yale University and a recipient of the National Medal of Science.

PSS’s contributions to the Bx platform center on the development of DSP tools and validation.

Inspire Bosnia
Inspire Bosnia is a Bosnian-based technology and consulting company engaged in the development of software and hardware and the manufacture of prototype devices for BrainScope. The Company focuses on research and applications relating to digital signal processing and embedded real time systems. Inspire currently has offices in Tuzla and Sarajevo.
