CANTAB Connect

The Cognitive Test Selector provides an overview of our recommended CANTAB Tests panels for different
research applications, and is designed to enable you to select the most appropriate cognitive tests. CANTAB is the
world’s most validated and comprehensive computerised cognitive assessment system. The language-independent,
sensitive touchscreen tests have been helping researchers to collect high-quality data for 30 years.
