About NEUROFUSION Research, Inc.

NeuroFusion is developing open-source tools for collecting health, behavior, and brain activity data in community settings. Our aim is to create predictive models for cognitive and mental health decline.

We began with a mobile app that helps users manage changes in productivity, physical and mental health using personalized prompts. Our web interface allows users to record brain activity data while playing games/cognitive experiments. This data is then analyzed to reveal variations in brain activity.

We have since introduced Quests, enabling distributed data collection around areas of interest and shared results. We believe that this is a critical piece of infrastructure required to accelerate progress in neurotech & decentralized science.

Principles

  • Privacy: Local first & user's are anonymous by default. People & not platforms should own their data.
  • Ease of use: Bringing research into people's daily lives means we have to lower the barrier to entry. You do not need to have a 'science' background to use our tools.
  • Interoperability: Anyone can export their data for analysis and even use our schemas for building their own apps.
  • Working with our doors open: We welcome anyone interested to use our open source code or reach out to us for collaboration!

How far along are we?

  • Launched mobile app on Android and iOS for behavior tracking, integrated with Apple Health and Google Fit. Provides personalized summaries from data and actionable suggestions to navigate daily activities.
  • Web platform with mobile EEG device integrations for anyone to run cognitive tasks and longitudinal studies.
  • We're releasing open datasets for people to build on: resting state EEG, cold plunges & brain activity, task-based data correlated with brain activity (e.g., screen time combined with EEG to understand neural correlates of context switching).
  • Validation & Feedback at pop-up cities: investigating the effects of coldplunges at ZuConnect, understanding cognitive workload during chess at Edge Esmeralda

Roadmap

  • Use NeuroFusion's tools for group studies with communities around areas of interest - validating interventions, investigating neural dynamics during task processing!
  • Allowing anyone do brain recordings on their mobile phone with automatic analysis afterwards
  • Support for interactive closed loop experiments – being able to make decisions based on changes in people's brain waves. e.g playing music based on your brainwaves to elicit certain brain states.
  • Developing a foundational model from brain activity (eeg) that can predict brain states and decode intent for a person using few examples. Started work on this
  • More data integrations & modalities to improve model predictions : passive productivity data - screen time, calendar, music Github
