Bridging the gap between neuroscience and technology.
Neuroscape is a translational neuroscience center at UCSF engaged in technology creation and scientific research to better assess and optimize brain function of both healthy and impaired individuals.
Neuroscape engages in multiple areas of neuroscience research, including studies of attention, memory, perception, neuroplasticity, cognitive development, brain aging, non-invasive brain stimulation, neurofeedback, and psychedelics.
Our research studies are supported by Neuroscape’s technological innovations in interactive media & video games, virtual reality & multisensory integration, mobile technology & remote trial platforms, multimodal biosensing & advanced neuroimaging, and machine learning & signal processing.
Results from our studies are applied to advance novel approaches that better assess and improve cognition in healthy populations – children to seniors – as well as individuals with a broad range of medical conditions, such as ADHD, Depression, Multiple Sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s Disease.
