F vs Neuro Mapper

The Functional Standardized Touchscreen Assessment of Cognition (FSTAC) is the first of it's kind in cognitive screening tools. FSTAC provides 14 functional tasks for a person to complete and then provides a report on functional & cognitive performance. One of the features that makes FSTAC so valuable is the integration of real life distractions, such as text messages, phone messages and noise. These distractions in the setting of a cognitively complex task provide the perfect setting to assess a person's cognitive abilities and breakdowns. Clinicians can now observe their clients performing functional tasks that range from simple to complex utilizing current technology. Cognitive domains include: General Knowledge Functional math Auditory & Visual attention Auditory & Visual Short term memory Working memory Language/Reading Language Auditory Comprehension Visual/Spatial Executive Function (Flexibility, Org, Prob solving) Insight/Awareness of performance Functional tasks include: Money ID/Valuation Medication management Safety Cash management: paying and making change Grocery shopping - Organization, planning Story listen and recall Bill pay over phone Appointment rescheduling Handling normal distractions Recalling tasks to do in a day Video demonstration can be found at https://youtu.be/ilVHjECm9o4

Neuromapper allows for a more efficient and sophisticated multi-dimensional behavioral brain mapping. It contains multiple cognitive and sensory paradigms that were selected based on current practice, known brain behavioral correlates and from review of neuroimaging and clinical research. Neuromapper allows for customized stimulus selection tailored to the patient's ability level and it will record the patient's accuracy and other sensitive behavioral metrics during baseline testing and incorporate that data into the mapping session to provide a more individualized, tailored testing approach. Neuromapper, in its current form, contains paradigms designed to assess language, learning/memory, executive functions, and vision/neglect. Additional paradigms are being researched and designed and a research consortium is being established between the Medical College and other academic centers to continue testing and developing these paradigms and to answer other important research questions about functional localization and clinical mapping.
