Virtuleap combines neuroscience and virtual reality to help increase attention levels, and address cognitive illnesses, disorders, and learning challenges. They have created a library of VR games designed by neuroscientists in order to test and train a range of cognitive abilities and make that data accessible through their enterprise platform. They're working with leading institutions, like the VA Health Care System and the Pacific Brain Health Center, to validate their solution as an effective diagnostic and treatment for attention deficit and cognitive decline.
