Remote computer implemented methods for cognitive testing: Key Neurotech Patent #4

— Illustrative image from U.S. Patent No. 6,280,198 Today we are featuring a 2001 patent originally assigned to Scientific Learning Corp, and now to Lumos Labs Inc. (As mentioned, we are featuring a foundational Pervasive Neurotech patent a day, from older to newer by issue date) U.S. Patent No. 6,280,198: Remote computer implemented methods for cognitive testing Assignee(s): Scientific Learning Corp; Lumos Labs Inc. Inventor(s): Barbara Calhoun, Bret E. Peterson, Michael M. Merzenich Technology Category: NeuroCognitive Training Issue Date: August 28, 2001 SharpBrains’ Take: The ‘198 patent describes techniques for improving the frequency and regularity at which an individual can take cognitive tests. The priority date of the ‘198 patent extends back to 1999, when cognitive testing often took place in formal testing centers that required scheduling and traveling, making frequent testing a challenge. The ‘198 patent discloses techniques for remote, repeated administration of such tests, allowing for more accurate evaluation of changes in cognitive performance over time. The ‘198 patent also describes using such techniques in conjuncture with medication treatment so that effects of medication on cognitive abilities may be quickly and precisely understood. The early disclosure of such a fundamental aspect of current medical testing and health evaluations, along with a correspondingly broad claim set, are amongst the factors that contribute to making the ‘198...
