a learning problem and current testing methodologies have not been consistent or reliable for diagnosing individuals with learning disabilities," said Gabriel Raviv, chairman and chief executive officer, Bio-logic Systems Corp. "The BioMAP adds to the existing battery of behavioral and evaluative tests an objective, valid and reliable means of identifying those individuals with auditory processing disorders."

Trent Nicol, manager of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory, and Steven G. Zecker, associate professor of communication sciences and disorders and a learning disabilities specialist at Northwestern, are key contributors to the development of the BioMAP.
