Capacio & Sigma Technology
Unikt samarbete mellan Capacio och Sigma Technology när avancerad dataanalys gifter sig med modern hjärnforskning.
Capacio och Sigma Technology har inlett ett samarbete där avancerad dataanalys appliceras på modern hjärnforskning kring unika kognitiva beteendedata som förklarar hur vi människor kan fungera på ett dynamiskt och framgångsrikt sätt i föränderliga miljöer. Dessutom har samarbetet, i en tuff konkurrens bland ett stort antal sökande projekt, valts ut som ett av projekten som deltar i årets upplaga SAS Institutes globala Hackathon som pågår under perioden 15 mars till 12 april 2023. Vinnaren utses under en Awards Ceremony (prisutdelningen) den 1:a juni. Som deltagare får projektet stöd av mentor från SAS Institute i form av två data scientists med branschkunskap.
I den första fasen av projektet syftar projektet att försöka identifiera prediktiva index och beteendeprofiler som kan användas för att uppnå bättre matchningar mellan sökande och roll i jobbrekryteringar men även vid personlig utveckling av individer, team eller t o m hela organisationer. Den första fasen bygger på att en mängd kognitiva data korreleras sinsemellan och med bl a socioekonomiska data.
”Målsättningen med projektet är att digitalisera psykologprocessen, från mätning och profilering till återkoppling och omsättning i praktiken. Genom att tillämpa avancerad dataanalys och visualisering på kognitiv neurovetenskap och evidensbaserade mätverktyg vill Capacio bidra med djupare förståelse för individers dynamiska fungerande och medfödda, hittills osynliga förmågor, talanger och potential. Syftet är även att skapa lättbegripliga och användbara beteende- och prestationsprofiler som kan hjälpa företag, organisationer och rekryterare att få en skarpare prediktion, urval, matchning för teambygge, samverkan och ledarskap genom att identifiera rätt person för rätt plats med rätt förutsättningar, säger Anders Norén, VD Capacio. ”Vi är oerhört glada för samarbetet med Sigma Technology, där vi nu har fått en partner med en extremt stark förmåga inom avancerad dataanalys, vilket krävs för att vi ska kunna realisera vår målsättning.”
- Vi är mycket stolta över att få samarbeta med Capacios unika team av forskningsexperter inom modern hjärnforskning kring kognitiva beteendedata. Tillsammans med vår expertis inom dataanalys och maskininlärningdriver vi tillsammans innovation och skapar ett unikt värde för kunder via en digital plattform för att förstå mänsklig förmåga, kapacitet, talang och potential. Kunderna får därmed en ökad förståelse för människobeteenden och kan vinna nya insikter om hur organisationer kan skapa välfungerande team. Vi är dessutom mycket glada att återigen fått möjligheten att ställa upp som deltagare i SAS Hackathon, nu i kategorin inom vård och life science där vi kan se hur innovativa teknologier kan skapa bättre hälsoförutsättningar, säger Robert Åberg, VD på Sigma Technology Insight Solutions.

Capacio is born – Game Intelligence taking a break
Our logo symbolizes brain capacity, thoughts, and growth
Game Intelligence Sweden AB is changing its name to Capacio AB. After a period of focused product research & development, we are now entering a new phase. A phase characterized by sales, brand building, and marketing taking center stage, alongside the continued development of our modern tools. As a name, Capacio meets the criteria of being accessible, unique, and informative. As well as being a neutral blank slate onto which we can engrave our unique knowledge, content, and stories.
Our tests measure cognitive capacity, i.e., innate/inherent ability, with a strong connection to talent and potential. Capacio means capacity in Greek (“Even the ancient Greeks”).
The graphic symbol represents a stylized brain – after all, our brains are the birthplace of all activities and ideas. The soft shapes signal that we care about and are careful with our users and their privacy when managing data and displaying test results. We measure many thought processes, which is why it also resembles a thought bubble. Finally, it has the shape of a mushroom – a good and nutritious veggie – which reflects our growth goal to democratize and spread the tools. It also acts as a metaphor for how we want users to keep sprouting from the ground.
Game Intelligence takes a break
The Game Intelligence brand is taking a bit of a breather but will be revived as a product concept involving sports where the term is well established. Capacio Game Intelligence.

Increase Effectiveness of Blind Recruitment – with Deep Cognitive Assessment
The good news is that cognitive neuroscience add a missing evidence-based piece to industrial-organizational psychology and to understanding the cognitive talents and abilities! of an individual.
Blind recruitment is an increasingly popular method for unbiased and fair evaluation. It means that details such as gender, name and other information are being concealed from the employer. Apart from blocking any possible bias in the recruiting process, it also promotes equality and diversity.
Although blind recruitment is a great step in the right direction, part of the bias still remains and there is plenty of room for improvement. The traditional “non-blind” information gathered when recruiting consist of education, experience, competence and knowledge. Most companies also apply psychological testing to understand personality-traits and logical thinking. The challenge is that many of these tests are highly subjective and/or limited when it comes to measuring real-life behavior and performance in dynamic environment. Despite all this information, still 50% of all recruitments are considered less successful. Something seem to be missing.
The good news is that cognitive neuroscience add a missing evidence-based piece to industrial-organizational psychology and to understanding the cognitive talents and abilities! of an individual. If you think about it, cognition is involved in all human activities. Cognition is about the brain’s information processing thoughts, feelings and decision making. And the engine behind behavior. It is with the help of cognitive abilities that we plan and organize our work in the short and long term, take actions, evaluate results, solve problems and make decisions. Without a brain, no cognition and without cognition, no action. Thus, in talent acquisition it is the individual cognitive profiler we want to measure and understand. As precise as possible, for the best possible understanding and basis of decision.
Deep cognitive assessment is now available to the market. The cognitive tests are normalized and standardized in a way that is neutral to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural origin. It can thus be used and to drastically improve both sharpness, the holistic view of a person, the effectiveness and the objectivity in blind recruiting. And add a more nuanced understanding of ability, talent and potential.
Cognition is everything. It is highly individual. It is fully measurable. Contact us for more information!
Predrag Petrovic on Your Inner Monologue
The cognitive brain is complex. The solution to understand yourself – is to understand cognition. This is possible, fully measurable, with tools and accessible on the market.
The Swedish TV show Malou efter Tio invited Cognitive Neuroscientist and psychiatrist Predrag Petrovic to talk about the inner monologue, common for all humans. With the inner monologue, we build and define ourselves. It reflects how the brain processes information, planning decisions and motivating models of behaviors. The brain wants to be in balance. Crises are registered in our brain system – which kicks off problem-solving processes.

John Axelsson – Cognitive Abilities during Lack of Sleep
John Axelsson, professor in sleep and expert in Neuroscience has together with a research group at Karolinska Institutet conducted a study measuring impaired cognitive abilities in newly awaken states. The study was done on doctors, a high-risk group of stress and sleep deprivation, working night shifts. Functions measured identify the impact on mathematical ability, word- and working memory etc.
Cognition is the root of all mental processes. Cognitive functions such as impulse control, working memory and problem-solving ability can all be affected by sleep/lack of sleep. These functions can be measured. With tools now available on the market.

Predrag Petrovic on Executive Function in Our Cognitive Profile
Cognitive Neuroscientist and psychiatrist Predrag Petrovic visited the Swedish podcast Psykologisk Forskning discussing his one-of-a-kind study on executive functions in the unexplored research area of football. Executive functions are concepts for mechanisms controlling the way we handle and adjust information affecting our behaviour. We can find out how to use our strengths and compensate for our weaknesses.
The focus is not on the individual’s good or bad qualities, but on the measurable cognitive profile. Understanding cognition is essential for you to contextually consider the impact on sleep, stress, performance/function and wellbeing.

John Axelsson on Sleep & the Effect on Cognitive Functions
The awareness of how sleep affects cognitive functions can help many individuals. And cognition is extensively measurable – with tools now available on the market.
John Axelsson, professor and expert in sleep and Neuroscience had his second appearance on one of Sweden’s most popular podcasts Framgångspodden, to shine light on the engaging topic of sleep, stress and effects on the brain.
“Cognition is everything” and has great effect on basic needs such as sleep. When sleeping, you recharge energy to the brain. Sleep is important to prepare the cognitive brain, rehearse new skills, ensures that daily activities is consolidated and fine-tune information processes for the next day.

Capacio Experts' Research about Sleep and Brain Functions Featured in Svenska Dagbladet
Lack of sleep can quickly affect our brain function, emotion control and concentration, with or without diagnosis.
Brain function deteriorates and we become more erratic the less we sleep. The brain becomes slower, we make more mistakes and above all the function of the brain varies more.
In addition to this general insight, with cognitive assessment tools, it is possible to measure our individual functional level and how it varies, for example in the case of lack of sleep or under pressure. The result is unique and sharp tools to better understand and guide ourselves to function optimally.
