Charles River Analytics will provide its Monitoring, Extracting and Decoding Indicators of Cognitive Load technology to help the U.S. Army train military medical personnel under a 30-month, $1 million contract.
The company said Tuesday the MEDIC system utilizes physiological, neurophysiological and behavioral sensors to determine the cognitive performance of trainees beyond observable behaviors.
“We have completed the initial design and testing of MEDIC on a two-person team,” said Bethany Bracken, principal investigator for the program at CRA.
She added that the team will move forward to the evaluation and validation of MEDIC in a laboratory environment then in a simulation environment.
CRA indicated that the system works to bolster training outcomes.
