When last I talked to Art, he mentioned that he has always avoided these kind of overtures. That said, I do not know of any other company that has ever bothered to fund a behavioral training RCT of over 500 subjects before. That part is new. (Although, to be honest, I would have preferred that the company hold back on the press release until the study were accepted for publication.)<BR/><BR/>In addition, the Neurocritic might be interested to know that Posit Science <B>has</B> approached Dr. Karlene Ball, whose useful field of view (UFOV (r)) training has shown to be successful in visual speed of processing training (with some benefit to driving).<BR/><BR/>There is a lot we don't know about Posit's program yet, and they certainly are not shy about their product. But it looks like the IMPACT trial might be pretty interesting even when you strip away the hype. My guess is that it will be published somewhere in the next year, and then we will know much more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
