Bridging the gap between neuroscience and technology.
Neuroscape is a translational neuroscience center at UCSF engaged in technology creation and scientific research to better assess and optimize brain function of both healthy and impaired individuals.
Neuroscape engages in multiple areas of neuroscience research, including studies of attention, memory, perception, neuroplasticity, cognitive development, brain aging, non-invasive brain stimulation, neurofeedback, and psychedelics.
Our research studies are supported by Neuroscape’s technological innovations in interactive media & video games, virtual reality & multisensory integration, mobile technology & remote trial platforms, multimodal biosensing & advanced neuroimaging, and machine learning & signal processing.
Results from our studies are applied to advance novel approaches that better assess and improve cognition in healthy populations – children to seniors – as well as individuals with a broad range of medical conditions, such as ADHD, Depression, Multiple Sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s Disease.

So for this episode of Next Level, we first went behind the scenes into the Neuroscape lab at UCSF. Lead by neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley (pictured above), the team at Neuroscape has spent the past 12 years incubating and testing video game technology that could be...
With the explosive growth in social media, emails and related media in recent years, NBC’s Maria Shriver continues our “Brain Power TODAY” series with a look into whether technology could be harming our brains. Shriver talks to neurologist Adam Gazzaley, who felt technology had control...
Video games often get a bad rap, from making teens lash out to infringing on productivity. But one doctor believes this technology can be used to improve a person’s brain function—and from there, possibly help to treat brain disorders like Alzheimer’s and ADHD.
Can video games be digital medicine?Neuroscape is featured in three episodes of Sanjay Gutpa’s CNN Vital Signs series on video games and the brain.
New research shows video games can train our brains to be stronger, faster and reduce the risk of developing dementia.
Is it possible to be a healthy gamer? We take a look inside an internet addiction treatment facility in China, the first country to declare this problem a “public health crisis”.
Doctors could soon be prescribing video games instead of drugs. We talk to Akili Interactive about how their video games could be the next greatest medical device.
