NOSS classifies cognitive states into 12 classification sectors, each mapping a distinct domain of mental function to measurable oscillatory patterns in language.
Every NOUS analysis maps the input across all 12 NOSS sectors simultaneously, producing a multi-label profile rather than a single diagnosis.
Major Depressive Disorder, Persistent Depressive Disorder, mood dysregulation. Alpha asymmetry and theta elevation markers.
Generalized Anxiety, PTSD, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety. Elevated beta, reduced alpha, theta-beta ratio imbalances.
Schizophrenia Spectrum, schizoaffective patterns. Gamma 40Hz deficits, disrupted cross-band coherence, elevated delta intrusion.
Cognitive decline, processing speed deficits, executive function impairment. Cross-band coherence degradation patterns.
ADHD, Autism Spectrum, learning differences. Theta-beta ratio abnormalities, atypical gamma binding patterns.
Healthy cognitive baseline, resilient processing, executive leadership patterns. Balanced cross-band coherence and integration.
Traumatic Brain Injury, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Coherence degradation, alpha-gamma coupling disruption.
Progressive cognitive decline patterns consistent with neurodegenerative conditions. Systematic band-by-band deterioration.
Cognitive patterns associated with prolonged coercive control, institutional confinement, or captivity conditions.
Substance use and withdrawal cognitive signatures. Band-specific disruption patterns varying by substance class.
Dissociative disorders, depersonalization, derealization. Fragmented cross-band coupling and coherence breaks.
Personality disorder cognitive patterns. Trait-level oscillatory signatures distinct from state-level clinical presentations.
NOSS produces a simultaneous activation profile across all 12 sectors, reflecting the reality that cognitive states rarely map to a single category. The Beverly Index score integrates all sector activations into a seven-component composite.
