Information for Greater Understanding
Information overload can be just as stressful as not having answers at all.
These resources explain the research behind Neuroinversa, how Latently works, what its visualizations represent, and how the technology is intended to be used. Our approach is grounded in curiosity, respect, and a commitment to understanding individual differences without judgment or pressure to “fix” anyone.
Common Questions
Latently is a mobile application that uses a smartphone or tablet camera to capture subtle facial and eye movements during a brief video check-in.
The app processes this movement data and presents it through visualizations that make small patterns and variations easier to explore across individual sessions and over time.
Latently provides families with another source of objective information to explore alongside their own observations and knowledge of the individual.
Families can review how facial movement patterns vary across sessions and consider the context surrounding each check-in, including the activity, environment, routine, and time of day. Latently does not interpret what a child is feeling or tell families what action to take.
No. Latently does not replace occupational therapy, clinical care, professional evaluation, or the judgment of qualified professionals.
It provides movement data and visualizations that can be considered alongside—rather than in place of—personal observations and other available information.
No. Latently does not diagnose autism or any other disease, disorder, or medical condition. Its visualizations should not be interpreted as a diagnosis, clinical assessment, or medical conclusion.
No. Latently is not designed to control behavior, enforce compliance, encourage masking, or evaluate whether someone is behaving “appropriately.”
It captures and visualizes movement patterns while respecting individual differences and neurodiversity.
Latently is designed to provide an additional source of movement information, not to replace established routines, educational supports, therapy, or professional care.
Its visualizations may be reviewed alongside observations and other information already available to families, researchers, educators, and professionals. They should not be used independently to make medical, therapeutic, or educational decisions.
Latently was developed by Neuroinversa, founded by computational neuroscientist Dr. Elizabeth Torres and Emmy Award-winning producer, educator, and entrepreneur Christopher Dudick. Their collaboration combines more than 20 years of neuroscience research with extensive experience translating complex ideas into accessible educational technology.
Dr. Torres is a computational neuroscientist at Rutgers University with more than 20 years of experience studying autism, human movement, and sensory-motor development. Her research examines relationships among movement, sensation, cognition, and nervous-system activity.
Christopher Dudick is an Emmy Award-winning producer, educator, and entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience building organizations and technologies focused on education and human development. His previous educational technology company, SILAS, was acquired in 2023.
Together, they founded Neuroinversa to translate rigorous neuroscience research into accessible, respectful technologies that help make subtle patterns in human movement visible.
