About NeuroCog

Our Mission

We measure cognition precisely, affordably, and as often as care requires.

Attention, memory, and social cognition can be measured. Yet the standard tests summarize a person in a handful of coarse scores, too blunt to catch subtle change and rarely repeated often enough to show a trajectory. NeuroCog exists to close that gap. Our software measures cognition in objective, granular metrics that register changes the standard tests miss, and it puts that measurement within reach of clinicians, researchers, and families, from growth to longevity.

Our Vision

A world where every treatment for cognition has to prove itself the way a blood-pressure drug does, in objective measurement that lets real impact show and leaves marginal impact nowhere to hide.

In trials and in the clinic alike, sensitive and repeatable measurement is how a field gets honest about what works, and how the treatments that do work get recognized faster.

NeuroCog Is

NeuroCog is a measurement company, and the product is software. We develop it with transparent methods, stated limitations, and results a clinician can defend and a family can question. Our assessments are thorough rather than quick. Granularity is what detects change, and granularity takes time.

NeuroCog Is Not

We are not a wellness product, and we don't replace anyone's judgment. Clinicians read our results in the context of the whole person. Families usually notice a change long before any test does. Our job is to take that observation seriously and give it numbers. NeuroCog informs decisions. It doesn't make them.

Walter Sena, MD

NeuroCog was founded by Walter Sena, MD, a psychiatrist who treats patients in the clinic and measures cognition in the lab. Families would describe changes they could see clearly at home, and the standard scores would come back unchanged, not because nothing was happening, but because the tests were too coarse to show it. He started NeuroCog to make measurement granular enough to catch what families already knew.

He trained as a physician and psychiatrist in Brazil's universal health system at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, earned a master's in neuroscience built around cognitive testing and eye-tracking, then moved to Canada for postdoctoral research in neuroscience at the University of British Columbia.

His principle, and NeuroCog's: care should be equitable, evidence-based, and respect each person's autonomy and privacy. Whether you're a family member, a clinician, or a researcher, he'd be glad to hear from you.
