Brainleap Technologies Inc develops attention training games for children with autism spectrum disorders and ADHD. The firm's attention training games have a strong scientific base, grounded by past studies of visual attention and its behavioral correlate: saccadic eye movements. Eye movement and attention are tightly linked and share much of the same brain circuitry. Eye movements can be observed and are easy to measure. Attention, however, cannot be observed directly and we can measure attention only by observing the way it affects our information processing, learning and memory. The firm's games are designed to measure attention in this way.
