Industry Partners

Our industry partners are experts in driving simulation design, product usability testing, software development, in-vehicle instrumentation technology, vehicle design, ADAS, physiologic recording techniques and engineering. Our combined efforts lead the field in clinical driving simulation, in-vehicle instrumentation technology and research programs to support technology development and design.

CSRC Toyota - Collaborative Safety Research Center Toyota

Our partnership with the Toyota CSRC supports safety-focused research. The Mind and Brain Health Labs and the Toyota CSRC are dedicated to using in-vehicle and wearable sensor technologies to detect and prevent risky behavior before it happens. We combine information about an individual's physiology with vehicle data (collected in real time) to create supportive, new technology for at-risk drivers.

HumanTrue

We collaborate with HumanTrue to deeply understand clinical trial protocols and transform them into actionable insights, products, and services.

DriveSafety - Creator of advanced driving simulators

The DriveSafety team specializes in designing and manufacturing state-of-the-art driving simulation systems that support research, training and clinical services. Through our collaborative effort, DriveSafety has developed one of the most advanced clinical research driving simulation systems in the United States, located at the Mind and Brain Health Labs.
