Project Description:
I am currently collaborating with Yoni Donner at Stanford University, in online studies looking at pre and post-training measures of cognition before and after IQ Mindware working memory training.
The objective of the testing is to provide a kind of ‘cognitive profile’ where the criteria adopted are:[listdot]
- Fast but valid and reliable online tests – with an emphasis on optimization
- Comprehensive test battery for a diverse range of cognitive skills (e.g. attention, working memory, motor control, associative learning).
- Easily integrated with online intervention programs.
- Clearly interpretable for users.
The IQ Mindware app PsiProfiler I have developed integrates a number of tests from the Quantified Mind test battery, enabling users to track their cognitive gains on multiple dimensions of performance while providing data for intervention research and development.
The app provides useful graphical representations of cognitive test scores in radial graphical format:
Collaborators:
Yoni is psychology Ph.D student at Stanford University. He conceived, designed, and leads the Quantified Mind project. Quantified Mind scientifically quantifies the effects of interventions on our cognitive processes. Yoni’s background is in Bayesian statistics, probabilistic graphical models and machine learning. He currently does AI research at Google.
