2. Normal eye tracking captures what you gaze at...

3. ...but Braingaze uses eye tracking to measure
very small, involuntary eye movements which
we call ‘Cogni:ve Vergence’

4. These movements occur when you focus a2en3on

5. AQen:on modula:on
modulates vergence
• Vergence is movement of both
eyes in opposite direc:on
• Cogni:ve Vergence can be used to
measure cogni:ve processing
• WO Patent granted EU & China;
USA & ROW in progress

6. Neural ac:vity signaling visual aQen:on
Cogni:ve
Vergence
• Neural responses reflec:ng
aQen:on measured by EEG
• Strength neural responses
correlate with vergence
Vergence correlates with EEG brain responses

7. Vergence reponses differ in ADHD children

8. PILOT 2013

9. This is how the set-up looks like VALIDATED 2016

10. Dyslec:cs need to pay more aQen:on to
read and understand a word
Vergence (deg.)
Time (ms)

11. Alzheimer detec:on pilot just started
?
8-12 items 4-6 repeated and 4-6 novel items

12. The problems we address
Cost related
• mental health departments are
over-stretched and many have
wai:ng lists as budgets do not
suffice to address pa:ent needs
Quality related
• pa:ents and psychiatrists both
perceive excessive subjec:vity in
diagnosing important condi:ons
treated with quite serious drugs

13. Braingaze´s launch
markets & presence

14. What is great when expanding interna3onally
• great and hands-on help by
regional agencies (OostNV,
MIDAS)
• people are mostly open to
consider our added value
• our Spanish registered
regulatory compliance
(MedDev CE Mark class 1) is
basically also valid in other
EU countries

15. What is awful when expanding interna3onally
• administra:ve details on cross
border investments, opening a
local bank account, tax rules
compliance, transla:ons
• low cost travel & delayed flights
• remote communica:on is hard
to do on a level that is as good as
f2f proximity – team is not easily
connected between sites

16. But the overall balance is very posi3ve
• we’re selling systems in 3
countries within 9 months ader
world launch at EPA 2016
• we engage with interna:onally
recognized clinical professionals
that also know each other from
their global scien:fic networks
• we can establish collabora:ons
with the best partners in each
region / country or at EU level

17. Now raising seed round (closes May ‘17)
