Comprehensive Cognitive Assessment
Cognitive function can be significantly affected by injury (including concussion), fatigue, illness, environmental exposures, and medical or operational interventions. Accurately characterizing these effects requires a robust and validated cognitive assessment tool. Neurostat offers a comprehensive suite of computer-based tools designed for evaluating cognitive performance. Recognized as the “gold standard” in research on cognitive change, the credibility of our technology stems from its extensive and diverse research foundation, shaped by decades of contributions from leading neuropsychologists, scientists, and human performance experts. With over four million administrations across controlled and extreme conditions—including all seven continents and even outer space—our cognitive tests have demonstrated unparalleled versatility and reliability.

Use History & Highlights
Our customers come from government, industry, medical, and research institution settings. Government customers include the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), National Laboratories, National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as international military organizations including the New Zealand Defense Technology Agency and the Singapore DSO National Laboratories.
Highlights
- The U.S. military has used our tests for pre-deployment baselines and post-injury return-to-duty since 2008, with over 4 million assessments conducted.
- Starting in 2024, as part of the DoD Brain Health Initiative, all service members use our tests to undergo baseline testing upon entry into military service, with follow-up assessments conducted every 3 to 5 years based on service branch and individual risk profile.
- Vista LifeSciences collaborated with U.S. Special Operations in the development of the mobile version of our testing platform, .
- ANAM, our previous testing platform, was the first cognitive test with military normative data cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration in a new device category created in 2015, and maintains FDA clearances for concussion and cognitive change.
Non-government customers include top medical research institutions and hospitals such as Yale, MIT, Harvard and Stanford, global pharmaceutical companies, and mental health clinicians in private practice.

What We Offer

Custom Data Presentation
We offer tools allowing users to streamline data management and aggregation to support robust analysis. Reports deliver comparative summaries against normative benchmarks and earlier assessments, while also presenting granular results for each cognitive test.

Collaboration & Consultation
VLS has assisted in constructing dozens of normative databases, and we work with our partners to ensure that they’re able to maximize the utility of test data. This includes support with data interpretation and presentation. We also frequently collaborate directly with partners on various research studies, particularly those examining the cognitive impacts of physical and environmental variables.

Implementation Support
In addition to the creation of normative data projects, Vista LifeSciences assists our partners with large-scale group testing setup and administrator training. We can also construct a central database and proactively connect partners with locally available resources.

Unmatched Versatility
Our assessments are compatible with desktops, laptops, and tablets, with a browser version coming Q4 2026, and can be deployed in stand-alone, group, or disconnected (down-range) environments. Test batteries are fully customizable to ensure data collection aligns with specific operational or research objectives.

Comprehensive Security
Neurostat offers flexible data communication options—from secure network and cloud-based sharing to wire-only extraction for sensitive environments. The platform also supports secure transmission when protocols allow.
