We measure brain activity while the athlete moves, reacts and makes decisions — so we can see how the brain performs as the demands change.
A controlled in-motion performance assessment — not a resting brain scan.
It is made up of distinct capabilities that vary by sport, position, athlete and situation — and those capabilities can be measured and developed.

We identify the brain capabilities limiting performance, show when and how the gap appears, and determine what to train.

Clean, he sits in the zone every coach wants: fast and right. Under pressure he leaves it entirely — losing speed and accuracy at the same time.
19 points lost
Under pressure he is 181 ms slower and 19 points less accurate. Pressure does not force a trade — he loses both at once.
He holds up through the first hour, then drops away sharply inside the fatigue window — finishing at 60% of where he started.
Most of his trials sit tightly around 271 ms. The long right tail is the problem: a handful of reactions drift all the way out to 414 ms. The ceiling is elite — the opportunity is making it repeatable.
His strong side becomes his slow side. The left starts 64 ms quicker and finishes 55 ms slower — the two sides swap at around the hour mark.
When an athlete starts compensating under load or fatigue, it shows up in the brain. Neuralytica flags rising injury risk and the part of the body most exposed.
Left knee is the area most exposed.
See where risk is rising. Adjust training before the problem grows.
Neuralytica shows how the athlete responds as load returns. It reveals where recovery can move faster and where pushing too soon could create a setback.
After concussion, we can also track how brain activity and performance are recovering over time.
Brain activity and performance under load
Increase load where the athlete is responding well.
Hold back where strain or breakdown remains.
Every assessment identifies the highest-value development opportunity, turns it into targeted training, and reassesses the athlete to determine what comes next.
The plan changes as the athlete changes.
Train the athlete to identify the earliest reliable cues before the full outcome is visible.

of research and development
assessed across multiple sports
We measure the athlete's brain while they move, react and make live decisions. We find where more performance is available, show what matters for their sport and position, build the right training, and measure again.
The position determines which brain capabilities matter most.
The capabilities a quarterback, goalkeeper, point guard and sprinter draw on are different — and two athletes in the same role can still have completely different development priorities.
Larger shape = greater importance to this role.This is role demand, not an athlete score.
{{ posRoleLine }}
The role sets the demands. The assessment reveals where this athlete is strong and where more performance is available.
It determines how well the athlete reads, anticipates, decides and adapts. And it determines how effectively the athlete can access and express the physical capacity they have built.
More performance can be available in the decision, the execution — or the connection between them.
“What's unique about this is if I'm really good at one of these exercises, it likely is something that I'm innately good at or have been developing without realizing it. And then other areas where I'm struggling or it's a weakness, I'd say, well, I've never tried to develop that. I've never worked on it. So I'd like to see how good I could be in that area if I actually devoted time to working on it. So both are interesting because it is the next frontier in kind of your development as an athlete. And so there's a lot of room for growth once you find out areas that you are weaker in.”
This is the opportunity: find abilities the athlete has never deliberately trained, then see how far they can be developed.
The same neural finding can matter differently depending on the sport and position. We translate the data into the sporting consequence and the opportunity to improve it.
The throwing window can close before the read is complete.
Decision-making becomes slower and less accurate under pressure.
Recognize the important cue earlier and make the right decision while the play is still available.
One direction becomes slower and less reliable late in the game.
Left-right control separates as fatigue builds.
Keep timing and movement control balanced in both directions as fatigue increases.
What is the athlete already doing well? Where is more performance available? What does it mean for their role? What should be trained next?
A single read on one athlete: what they already do well, where more performance is available, and the conditions that expose the gap.
One view of the whole group, so staff can compare athletes in the same role without opening a separate report for each one.
Where the brain’s control of the body is changing — timing, movement control and left–right balance as demand and fatigue increase. This is context for load and return-to-play conversations, not a prediction.
The training this athlete should actually do: what to train, why it was selected from their assessment, and exactly how to run it.
We identify the gap that matters most for this athlete, explain what it could change in performance and provide the training to improve it.
He is reading the play too late.
What to do. How often to do it. What to watch. When to make it harder. When to scale it back. What improvement should look like.
The next assessment shows what improved, what did not and what should be trained next. The plan keeps changing around the athlete instead of forcing every athlete through the same program.

The work has progressed from rehabilitation and healthy-athlete baselines to measuring brain and body performance together while athletes are actually in motion.

Athletes studied and assessed through the research program

Continuing football research
We synchronize brain activity with what the athlete is doing, how the body is responding and how well the athlete is performing at that exact moment.
One assessment, four phases, in a single continuous recording. The brain, the task and performance sit on the same timeline below, so you can see that they change at the same moment. This is one assessment getting harder — it is not a before-and-after comparison.
Brain activity is recorded continuously and time-locked to every task, including the moment pressure increases. Nothing is measured at rest.
The fourth phase repeats the third one. Only the pressure and the time available change.
Performance holds steady while the task is clean. It moves only after pressure increases — 181 ms slower and 19 accuracy points lower.
When pressure increases, decisions slow and accuracy falls—and the brain response changes at the same point.
This lets us see what changes when the task becomes harder, pressure increases, fatigue builds or the athlete has less time to respond.
The important question is not simply what the brain looks like at rest. It is how the brain and performance change together as the demands on the athlete change.
The research did not begin with the finished Neuralytica platform. It developed step by step, with each study answering a different part of the problem.
An approved PFATS-backed research grant is supporting an intervention study designed to measure changes in brain, reaction and movement performance in football athletes.
The wider science shows that perception, decision-making, fatigue, cognition and brain-body control all matter to sporting performance.
Elite performance depends partly on how athletes perceive information, anticipate what is coming and make decisions.
Vestberg et al. — executive functions and success in top-level soccer →Decision speed, accuracy and execution can deteriorate as mental and physical fatigue increase.
Smith et al. — mental fatigue and soccer-specific decision-making →Sport performance depends on the connection between what the athlete sees, the decision they make and the movement they execute.
Read the research →Injury and rehabilitation can involve changes in the nervous system that are not fully captured by physical measures alone.
Grooms et al. — neuroplasticity associated with ACL reconstruction →Neuralytica is performance technology. We measure how the brain performs and how it controls the body during performance. We do not diagnose medical conditions or claim to predict whether an individual athlete will be injured.
Neuralytica was created to make the brain a measurable and trainable part of performance in sport.
We show how the athlete's brain performs, how it controls the body and what should be developed next.
