WHAT WE DO
NeuroScouting’s R&D laboratory builds software-hardware integrations that enable the next generation of translational neuroscience technologies. Combining advanced diagnostics with precision intervention experiences, these technologies interface with crucial brain-body systems that impact both elite performance and various brain health disorders.
NEUROSCIENCE MEETS THE NEXT GENERATION OF INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
NeuroScouting is led by neuroscientists Dr. Wesley Clapp and Dr. Brian Miller. Merging their passion for sports with deep interest in the neural basis of elite performance, they started NeuroScouting in 2007 with the mission of bringing the latest neuroscience advances out of the lab and into actionable tools in the real world.
Through years of collaborative partnerships in professional sports, NeuroScouting has developed a multi-dimensional assessment-intervention platform that enhances both scouting and player development with neuroscience-based technologies. Over the last fifteen years, NeuroScouting has collected, analyzed, and cataloged neural performance metrics from tens of thousands of professional athletes, delivered custom training protocols to thousands more and has been awarded NIH grants for ongoing work extending components of this platform to clinical targets in brain health.
NeuroScouting's multidisciplinary team also integrates expert computer scientists, video game developers, artists, data scientists and bioengineers. While this intersection of expertise underlies the development arc of the company's technical R&D, the founders work closely with the board of directors and world leading scientific advisors to identify key priorities for executing on its mission to help meet the brain health and performance challenges of tomorrow.
NEUROSCOUTING
THE SCIENCE OF ELITE PERFORMANCE
Although an athlete may excel in the physical dimensions of their respective sport, it has been challenging to both evaluate and optimize the neural components of performance that are required to maximize those physical abilities in the face of intense read-and-react contexts at the elite level. Through cutting-edge research partnerships in pro sports, NeuroScouting has developed sensitive diagnostics to evaluate key neural systems directly linked with elite athletic ability (e.g. hand-eye coordination). These neural-based analytics offer sports teams a new class of objective data to assist in player evaluation and projection. NeuroScouting’s technology also helps players build these capacities by combining its diagnostic platform with immersive training experiences tailored to mirror situational contexts on the field. These individualized training platforms evolve with the player over time allowing them to take “reps” that drive meaningful neural change with no wear and tear on the body.
INTEGRATED HARDWARE-SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS IN ELITE ATHLETICS
Through its work with pro athletes, NeuroScouting has developed innovative classes of tools that break new ground in optimizing brain-body circuits in the service of performance and nervous system health. NeuroScouting is actively bringing these tools into the healthcare sector, with ongoing R&D focused on tailoring these platforms for multiple clinical end points.
NeuroScouting partners with leading brain health researchers, clinicians, physical rehabilitation centers, and partner R&D labs both domestically and internationally in order to conduct research studies and further expand the impact of these technologies in clinical practice and non-pharmacological interventions.
