An apparatus for clinical evaluation of sensitivity of individuals to learning context provides a visual search task in which a target symbol to be located is associated with context images that cluster around the target symbol to varying degrees. Measurement of a rate of unconscious exploitation of the context symbols in finding the target symbols is used to sort the individuals into categories believed to be useful for characterizing their learning styles.

Apparatus for evaluating contextual learning

A sensitive measure of brain condition simultaneously evaluates multiple measurements of water diffusion in brain tissue combined so as to correct for covariance between the different data types of the multipoint measurements and compares the multipoint measurements to a corresponding multipoint measure representing normal brain tissue to provide a distance indicating a likelihood of atypical brain conditions.
