NARDI NEUROTYPE PROFILER SYSTEM

摘要

This Invention is a direct neurological assessment that generates scores for psychological types and neurological profiles. ASSESSMENT: Brain-mapping data is generated by EEG testing on multiple human subjects while performing tasks related to specific brain regions. Scores are calculated, algorithms developed, and visual diagrams drawn. The data is compared to known functions for specific brain neocortex regions, and verified by independent testing for cognitive/personality types by statistical analysis. TYPING: This process determines brain patterns for specific neocortex regions, synchronous circuit patterns between regions, and hemispheric balance. Patterns are identified and grouped into eight psychological types. PROFILES: Results include: (1) scores as raw values or percentages; (2) list of brain-mapped pattern characteristics; (3) colored or shaded map of brain region activity; (4) diagram of synchronous brain circuit patterns; (5) ranking psychological types into dominant, secondary, and recessive; and (6) a descriptive neurological and psychological profile. Applications include: counseling, business and education.

1. A method of formulating a neurologically-based cognitive typing system, derived from brain mapping, for the purpose of determining an individual's neurological-cognitive type, comprising the following steps:
(a) Conducting brain wave mapping on human subjects to identify the levels of intensity of specific brain wave patterns in and across regions with known functions, while administering tasks related to specific brain regions; (b) Researching and developing a table of neurological functions for specific regions of the brain neocortex, and linking said functions with the brain mapping data from step (a). (c) Assessing psychological traits/types and/or cognitive skill levels of each subject; (d) Verifying the brain mapping data (step a) and related functions (step b) with a psychometric assessment from step (c), using appropriate statistical methods to develop and/or verify data; (e) Identifying patterns in the data (step d) to group data into eight different cognitive types, to develop a cognitive typing system, for the purpose of determining the cognitive type of a future individual; (f) Identifying supplementary patterns in the data (step d) for synchronous activation (coherence events) to refine the cognitive types; (g) Identifying supplementary patterns in the data (step d) for hemispheric balance to refine the cognitive types; (h) Developing a comprehensive report wherein results can be expressed in multiple formats and given to individuals to identify their neurological and cognitive patterns.
