What it is

NeuroFusion is a remote research platform for brain and behavior studies. Its core goal is to let researchers design Quests, publish them to participants, collect questionnaires/prompts, cognitive tasks, EEG and health data, and then analyze and export the results in a structured way within a single workflow. It is closer to research infrastructure than to a general-purpose survey tool or project management SaaS.

Core capabilities

The platform is centered on a Quest builder, which can combine informed consent, onboarding, eligibility screening, prompts, questionnaires, conditional logic, notification windows, experimental protocols, and analysis settings. Data collection spans Web, iOS, Android, and tablets, with support for offline auto-sync, push notifications, video/multimedia stimuli, jsPsych, and custom HTML/JavaScript experiments. For brain recording, it supports consumer-grade EEG devices such as Muse and Neurosity, resting-state protocols, paradigms such as Stroop/Oddball/N-back, and real-time signal quality monitoring. Health data can be connected from Apple Health and Google Fit, covering steps, sleep, heart rate, and more. Analysis and export features include real-time dashboards, frequency power, ERP, raw CSV data export, and Python notebook integration.

Pricing and collaboration

Its pricing follows a pay-as-you-go model: designing and building are free and require no credit card; credits are purchased only when a Quest is actually published and data is collected, with charges deducted based on participant actions, data collection, storage, analysis, and related activities. The text states there is no subscription and no monthly fee, and that credits are valid for 1 year, though the minimum purchase amount is described inconsistently as both $5 and $10. On the team side, it supports Organizations, adding members, fine-grained role permissions, audit logs, per-Quest billing separation, and usage-based billing.

Pros and cons

Its strengths are the concentration of multimodal capabilities, making it suitable for remote and longitudinal research; free design lowers the cost of experimentation; export and scriptable analysis fit well with academic workflows; and its open-source and data-export-oriented philosophy also helps with interoperability. Limitations include that features needed for large observational studies—such as cohorts, visits, study arms, participant status, adherence tracking, overdue response operations, and formal statistical reports—are still being expanded. The public materials also do not provide clear evidence of compliance certifications such as HIPAA, GDPR, or SOC 2.

Who it is for and access from China

It is suitable for psychology, cognitive science, neurotechnology, community-based distributed research, and labs that need to jointly collect EEG, behavioral, and health data. If the use case is simply general business surveys or CRM forms, Qualtrics, REDCap, and similar tools may be more mature. Access from mainland China is not described in the text; payments rely on Stripe, so domestic teams should verify network connectivity, foreign-currency payment, device procurement, and the availability of Apple/Google health data in advance.
