INCISIV, founded and headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is a neurotechnology start-up using cutting-edge science to develop technologies that advance human performance.

The concept of INCISIV was born in 2018 when Cathy Craig, Professor of Experimental Psychology at Ulster University, noticed how sporting organisations were continually looking to measure physical aspects of performance, but were neglecting the mental side of the game. She and her team set about translating 20 years’ world-leading research into solutions to help people perform better.

Their platform uses the power of virtual reality to control what the brain sees and sensors to precisely measure how the brain responds. Their scientifically validated algorithms then quantify a person’s neural fitness – an ability Craig likes to call ‘Action Intelligence’ (AQ). This deep scientific knowledge forms the bedrock of all their products.
