SyncThink

SyncThink is a leading neurotechnology company with fundamental intellectual property in eye-tracking analytics and devices. It was founded in 2009 by neurosurgeon Jamshid Ghajar, the founder of the Brain Trauma Foundation and director of the Stanford Concussion and Brain Performance Center. SyncThink is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with a branch in New York City. The company initially focused on neurodiagnostics (mainly concussions) for military and sports applications. Its broad potential applications include children's attention development, brain performance enhancement, fatigue assessment, medication management, and more. The EYE-SYNC device is a fully integrated head-mounted eye tracker used for rapid and reliable screening of focus. The device is non-invasive, low-risk, and highly reliable. As the subject tracks a predictable moving target following a circular trajectory on a screen within the head-mounted device, a high-speed camera records eye movements. The embedded system software features eye-target synchronization, and results are displayed and stored on a handheld peripheral device for immediate concussion screening. The benefits of EYE-SYNC technology include speed (taking less than 60 seconds), accuracy, portability, and validated metrics. SyncThink has partnered with Shire to apply SyncThink technology in clinical settings.
