NeuroDesigner by Nervanix is a highly innovative technology focused on the optimization of digital content and human performance using biometrics, sensor fusion and ML/AI. NeuroDesigner focuses primarily on the pre-production phase of training content development. As designers iterate and refine content, NeuroDesigner enables them to identify specific events within the content and make predictions around how the human trainee's brain will respond (attention, memory, emotion, engagement, etc.). The technology then uses medical grade EEG systems to measure sample trainees as they progress through the content, and report variances between the designer's predictions and the actual measurements in an R&D environment. The content designer then uses these data to iterate, refine and improve the content. The result is optimized digital content using neurometrics.
