Introducing the iQ Prize Shortlist: #8 Neurosynergy Games

image0012

Neurosynergy Games is the brainchild (no pun intended) of two neuroscientists, Dr David Delany and Dr Lorraine Boran, and is the first brain-training software designed to enhance both intellectual (’IQ’) and emotional (’EQ’) functioning.

The patent-pending IQ-EQ brain trainer software is an integrated set of innovative brain fitness games designed to not only enhance the mental capacities of healthy individuals, but to also address an unprecedented range of psychological disorders including learning, mood, anxiety, psychosis, and impulse-control disorders. By targeting both the causes and effects of these psychological disorders, the IQ-EQ game has a substantial advantage over existing approaches.

Neurosynergy Games is currently working with innovation partners in Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, NUI Maynooth, Carlow and Waterford IT to develop and validate their IQ-EQ games, and has quickly gained attention elsewhere, winning the Best Start-up Category at the SEEPP Enterprise Awards 2009 and securing a place in Microsoft’s Innovation Accelerator Programme as part of the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2009.
