Overview
According to E. Roy John, the pioneer in the field of neurometrics, neurometrics is In 1977, Roy John and Robert Thatcher published one of the first texts in the field of neurometrics. The text was entitled ''Neurometrics''. The field of Neurometrics began to expand significantly in the 1990s. This was due in part to the advent of inexpensive methods of linking computers to traditional EEG devices. This allowed researchers to transform analog EEG signals into digital signals for statistical analysis. Leading researchers in the field included Frank Duffy, E. Roy John, and Robert Thatcher. Between the 1980s and the present time, thousands of articles in the field of neurometrics have been published. Entrepreneurs began to take notice of the potential of neurometrics in the late 1980s. In 1991, Lexicor Medical Technology filed one of the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) class two filings in the field of Neurometric software and related EEG devices, called the NeuroSearch-24. NxLink Ltd. built upon the Lexicor Medical Technology 510(k)s with their filing of the Neurometric Analysis System in 1998. Robert Thatcher filed a 510(k) with the FDA on his Neuroguide Analysis System in 2004. The Thatcher filing was then followed by an FDA filing by BRC Operations PTY Limited, with their BRC Software ProductReferences
