Methods and systems for computer-based neurocognitive testing
First Claim
1. A method for computer-based neurocognitive testing, the method comprising:
- using a general purpose computing platform;
(a) presenting a subject with one or more neurocognitive tests, at least one of the neurocognitive tests being a test in which reaction times for individual responses were not conventionally recorded;
(b) for each of the neurocognitive tests, recording the subject'"'"'s responses; and
(c) recording the subject'"'"'s, reaction time for at least one response in the test in which reaction times for individual responses were not conventionally measured.

Abstract
Methods and systems for computer-based neurocognitive testing are disclosed. A system for computer-based neurocognitive testing includes stand-alone agent software capable of executing on a general purpose computing platform. The agent software administers a battery of neurocognitive tests to the subject and records the subject'"'"'s responses. The subject'"'"'s reaction times for individual responses may be recorded, even in tests for which reaction times for individual responses were not conventionally recorded. The reactions may be recorded with millisecond accuracy, even when the agent software is executing over a non-real-time operating system. The agent software generates an agent report indicating the subject'"'"'s responses to the tests and reaction times. The agent software may upload the test results to the server. The server may control access to the test results and to agent software and produce more sophisticated clinically useful reports such as longitudinal comparisons of the subject to peers and perhaps other dissimilar subjects.

25. A stand-alone agent for administering neurocognitive tests to a user via a general purpose computing platform, the agent comprising:
-
(a) a test manager for presenting a subject with one or more neurocognitive tests via a general purpose computing platform, at least one of the neurocognitive tests being a test for which reaction times for individual responses were not conventionally recorded;
(b) a data manager for recording the subject'"'"'s response to each of the neurocognitive tests via the general purpose computing platform; and
(c) a timing manager for recording the subject'"'"'s reaction time for at least one response in the test for which reaction times for individual responses were not conventionally measured. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

40. A system for computer-based neurocognitive testing, the system comprising:
-
(a) stand-alone agent software executable on a general purpose computing platform for administering one or more neurocognitive tests to a subject, the neurocognitive tests including at least one test in which reaction times for individual responses were not conventionally recorded, the stand-alone agent software for recording the subject'"'"'s responses to the tests and for recording a reaction time for at least one response in the test in which reaction times for individual responses were not conventionally recorded; and
(b) a neurocognitive testing server operatively associated with the stand-alone agent software for receiving the subject'"'"'s responses and reaction time, for storing the responses and reaction time in a database, and for controlling access to the responses and reaction time. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
