This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop multi-dimensional neurodynamic models of the cognitive organizations of teams that span zero history to proven entrepreneurial teams (ET), with the purpose of developing a neurophysiologic instrument to rate a team's entrepreneurial aptitude. This continuum will be developed using an established business training task that will be performed by zero history teams, student teams participating in the Edson Entrepreneurial Initiative within the Venture Catalyst at ASU and established entrepreneurial teams recruited either from the Venture Catalyst or from recent NSF SBIR awardees. Neurodynamic models will be generated using EEG technologies and protocols previously developed for high fidelity military training activities. These models dynamically follow the engagement and workload of each member of the team as well as the entire team and will be customized for studying entrepreneurial teams. By exploring the neurological functioning of ET more informed theory may be produced to better understand and predict which teams are likely to become sustained ET. Furthermore, by developing quantitative measures / models that reflect team experience / efficiency we may begin to develop training approaches to accelerate and test the development of the ET skillset. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project lies in its generality. The metrics and modeling approaches will be easily customized for other business and non-business (i.e. education, training and / or military) related team activities enhancing the commercial potential of the product. The proprietary neurodynamic assessment system will be marketed to corporate training / coaching programs, financial backers who wish to decrease uncertainty in ventures, and entrepreneurial organizations who wish to optimize their performance.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将开发多维神经动力学模型的认知组织的团队，跨越零历史证明创业团队（ET），与开发一种神经生理学工具，以评估团队的创业能力的目的。 这一连续体将使用一个既定的业务培训任务，将由零历史团队，学生团队参加在亚利桑那州立大学的风险催化剂内的埃德森创业计划和建立创业团队从风险催化剂或从最近的NSF SBIR获奖者招募。神经动力学模型将使用EEG技术和以前为高保真军事训练活动开发的协议生成。 这些模型动态地遵循团队每个成员以及整个团队的参与度和工作量，并将为研究创业团队而定制。 通过探索ET的神经功能，可以产生更有见地的理论，以更好地理解和预测哪些团队可能成为持续的ET。 此外，通过开发反映团队经验/效率的量化指标/模型，我们可以开始开发培训方法来加速和测试ET技能的发展。该项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力在于其普遍性。 度量和建模方法将很容易为其他业务和非业务（即教育，培训和/或军事）相关的团队活动进行定制，从而增强产品的商业潜力。专有的神经动力学评估系统将销售给企业培训/教练计划，希望减少风险投资不确定性的金融支持者，以及希望优化其绩效的创业组织。
