Mobile Brain
Mobile Brain is a pioneering initiative that merges neuroscience, computational science, and education to create innovative tools that significantly enhance learning and cognitive development. Founded by Dr. Natália Mota, a psychiatrist and chief scientist, the company leverages over a decade of scientific research to analyze narratives using a proprietary index system called LitMetrix. This system monitors narrative complexity and predicts reading performance among students, offering valuable insights for educators and parents. Mobile Brain's approach collects stories from students in a playful manner, analyzes them to calculate LitMetrix indexes, and compares these against developmental milestones. The results are visualized in growth curve-like graphs, providing a clear picture of a student's narrative complexity relative to their peers.
The system is designed to be simple, engaging, and scalable, suitable for individual schools or entire networks. It provides comprehensive monitoring, developmental insights, and targeted interventions based on a student's percentile. Education managers can use the tools to oversee class performance and implement broad, impactful actions swiftly. Mobile Brain's innovations have wide-ranging applications, from early detection of reading difficulties to creating customized learning plans and contributing to educational research.
