Research-grade cognitive testing that gives you data you can trust.
38 research tasks · 6 cognitive domains · validated & normed · free for academics · no hardware, no downloads, no $30,000 license.
38 validated & normed tasks across 6 cognitive domains — assembled in minutes, not months.
Start from a published starter battery or hand-pick tasks in the study wizard. Every task ships with research-ready timing, scoring, and instructions.
Processing Speed
How quickly the brain processes information and executes simple motor responses.
Attention
Selectively focusing on relevant information while filtering distractors.
Working Memory
Holding and manipulating information in mind over short periods.
Executive Function
Inhibition, cognitive flexibility, and task switching.
Episodic Memory
Encoding, storing, and retrieving information about specific experiences.
Reasoning & Decision-Making
Fluid reasoning, planning, and value-based decision under uncertainty.
Complete test battery
Every task uses a public-domain paradigm with automated scoring and clean exports. Open any task for the full method, measures, and references.
Starter batteries
Published, ready-to-run task sets. Clone one and edit.
Study setup wizard
Executive Screen · 4 tasks selected
Get every participant's data — even when the connection drops.
Remote or in-lab, your sessions are resumable, localized, and screened at intake. The platform protects the data before it ever reaches your analysis.
Remote or in-lab
Share a unique URL for unsupervised testing, or run supervised sessions on site. Built-in fullscreen and focus checks keep conditions consistent.
Never lose a participant
Sessions save incrementally via sendBeacon as each trial completes. A dropped connection resumes where it left off — fewer failed participants, direct ROI.
Multilingual cohorts
Full participant flow in English and Italian today, with instructions and stimuli localized — recruit international samples without rebuilding.
Bot & spam protection
Automated submissions are screened at intake, so your dataset reflects real human responders — a first line of data integrity.

Respond to the centre arrow
We don't just collect scores. We tell you which scores you can trust.
Validated norms, automated invalid-session detection, and reproducible scoring turn raw responses into data you can defend in peer review. This is exactly what a DIY jsPsych build leaves you to engineer yourself.
Study Quality Monitor
Live · exec-7Q2
4 of 7 shown · flagged sessions are excluded from analysis automatically — you decide what re-enters.
Normative comparison
P-1042 · Simple RT vs age-matched norms
Quality-gated interpretation. Percentiles render only for sessions that pass validity checks — so norms are never computed on data you'd throw out.
What it takes to defend your data

ConductCognition
Analysis-ready data the moment collection ends.
Scoring is automated and reproducible. Export clean score CSVs on every plan, trial-level and longitudinal wide-format on Academic Pro, or pull straight from the API.
Pull results programmatically into your pipeline.
