C-SHOP is actively engaged in research and medical applications in collaboration with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command and SPAWAR. Activities include:

• Assuming responsibility for the future development and enhancement of the major DoD computer-based testing system (ANAMŽ). This test system is used for military field and laboratory research assessing such factors as fatigue, sleep loss, shift work, alcohol, prescription and illicit drugs, and environmental stressors (e.g., heat, vibration, and noise) that might render soldiers, rescue workers, or security agents less effective.

• Quality assurance assessment and hardening of the ANAMŽ cognitive test battery.

• Development, distribution, and application of clinical screening test tools.

• Assistance in deployment of portable test systems for field assessment of head injuries and assessment of degraded performance capability associated with sustained operations, etc.

• Providing critical support to the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in the assessment of cognitive state in paratrooper head injury cases and head injuries among combat casualties in Iraq.

• Constructing a U.S. Army combat and medical facilities triage system for broad-based testing of cognitive functioning followed by detailed diagnostic evaluation.

• Assisting researchers at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine in recovery of data on the effects of deployment (Bosnia and Iraq) on cognitive functioning.

• Developing screening tests for the U.S. Army for the early detection of Parkinson's disease.
