At Neuro-InsightA window into the invisible world of the human mind.

To bring forth what lies within—revealing the deep reservoir of human need, aspiration and motivation that conscious understanding alone cannot reach.

What people say, and what can be observed of them, is only a sliver of what is really going on.

Yet the businesses, institutions and technologies built around people are shaped almost entirely by that sliver. We need them to create new maps that stimulate new and deeper insights into human motivation, by looking into the often invisible layer of the mind: the subconscious.

Without an understanding of the deepest drivers of human action and motivation, not only businesses but political structures and societies collapse.

As the infrastructure for this new world is created, we want this often overlooked, invisible layer to be built into it. We intend to be the ones who do that.

What we do

For sixteen years, we have measured what happens beneath conscious response.

We have applied that understanding to questions across business, media, culture and technology.Today, that work takes four forms.

The technological breakthrough: SST

We see what the brain chooses to do with information.

Not all non-conscious measurement is equal. Not all brain measurement is equal either.

Validated in the real world

From memory formation to marketplace performance.

Each step asked a harder question of the same measurement.

Thinking and writing

We don’t just observe the mind. We think about what it means.

Some of what we learn belongs to our clients. Some of it belongs to the wider conversation about how human beings actually work.
