At Altasciences, we design driving studies to achieve your objectives, leveraging extensive experience across clinical testing of cognitive effects. We partner with Cognitive Research Corporation to use their proprietary driving simulators, nine of which are permanently installed in our clinic. We have performed well over 10,000 simulated drives to date, analyzing the impairment seen at peak exposure and/or the effect seen the morning after evening dosing.
