Company Profile

Attention Control Systems, Inc., was founded in 1996 by Richard Levinson, a robotics researcher at NASA-Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. In the early 1990s, Levinson began studying the neuropsychology of human planning in order to increase autonomy for NASA robots. In 1995, he proposed a computer model of human frontal lobe function in an article published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.

That computer model of executive functions led to the development of PEAT, the most powerful cuing and scheduling treatment currently available. PEAT offers help to people with a wide range of cognitive and attention disorders, including brain injury, stroke, MS, Alzheimer's disease, developmental disorders, anoxia and others.

Levinson has publications related to PEAT in both computer science and neuropsychology journals, and has pioneered an interdisciplinary approach to cognitive rehabilitation that has drawn widespread attention..

The Department of Education's National Institute on Disability and Rhabilitation Research (NIDRR) recently awarded a grant to fund clinical trials to study PEAT's efficacy. The study is being performed at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, a pioneer in brain injury rehabiltiation.
