We Measure
the Mind
MindTrace supports clinical teams in consistently measuring and documenting neurocognitive function across the surgical care journey to help protect language, memory, and movement.
About MindTrace
Functional brain mapping is a technique in which clinicians may administer neurocognitive testing while a patient is awake during part of a neurosurgical procedure. MindTrace provides care teams with a neurocognitive assessment aid that can be used before, during, or after surgery to track an individual's performance.
MindTrace supports neurosurgical teams
Neurosurgery involves decisions that can affect how a person speaks, remembers, moves, and lives independently. Careful measurement is essential to developing a care plan that protects critical neurocognitive functions. MindTrace supports neurosurgical teams by helping them consistently measure and document important aspects of neurocognitive function across the surgical care journey.
MindTrace helps ensure that critical information is consistently captured with high precision, and is available to support patient-centered clinical discussions. MindTrace does not replace clinical judgment or make medical decisions; it supports care teams in carefully measuring what matters most.
Resources for Patients and Caregivers
Navigating a neurosurgical diagnosis and treatment can be overwhelming. Below are trusted non-profit organizations and educational resources that provide information, community support, and guidance for patients and caregivers.
National Brain Tumor Society
National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) unrelentingly invests in, mobilizes, and unites the brain tumor community to discover a cure, deliver effective treatments, and advocate for patients and caregivers. Every brain tumor experience is unique, and every patient deserves a better chance at survival, a better chance at an adequate quality of life, and the best information available to understand options and make choices for their treatment.
Brain Tumor Foundation
The Brain Tumor Foundation (BTF) guides and supports patients and families during the turbulent times when their lives are touched by a brain tumor. Living with a brain tumor is difficult both for the patient and their family. A good support system can help give you the strength you need to get through it.
Head for the Cure

Epilepsy Foundation
Improving the lives of people affected by epilepsy through education, advocacy, research, and connection.
Pioneer Consortium
The PIONEER Consortium (Personalized Interventions and Outcomes in Neurosurgical Oncology Research Consortium) is a global, collaborative reserach platform that was established in 2019 to address the criticial lack of prospective, multicenter evidence in surgical neuro-oncology.
