Quantifying Cognitive Processes

Embic’s quantified cognitive processes (qCPs) reflect the underlying cognitive processes of encoding and retrieval that have been previously inaccessible as they cannot be directly observed. This scientific innovation has been achieved through research & development efforts that leverage the combination of proprietary cognitive modeling approaches and Embic’s massive normative dataset. The modeling approaches include hierarchical Bayesian and multinomial tree processing methods; Embic’s dataset contains item-level responses to well-validated wordlist learning and recognition tasks from more than 2 million healthy subjects across the adult human life span.

Embic’s qCPs facilitate a non-invasive and pragmatic approach to characterizing cognitive function at a granular level, which enables objective identification of subtle but meaningful cognitive changes. This capability unlocks a profound opportunity for accelerating and optimizing results in clinical trials, especially in the areas of cognitive aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
