The software applications include: CogScreen-Driver's Edition for investigating the relationship between cognitive test performance and driving performance in new drivers, CogScreen-Hypoxia Edition for evaluating the impact of hypoxia hypoxia Condition in which tissues are starved of oxygen. The extreme is anoxia (absence of oxygen). There are four types: hypoxemic, from low blood oxygen content (e.g., in altitude sickness); anemic, from low blood oxygen-carrying capacity (e.g. (e.g., high altitude Conventionally, an altitude above 10,000 meters (33,000 feet). See also altitude. ) on brain functioning, and CogScreen-Vigilance Test for measuring changes in alertness associated with sleep deprivation sleep deprivation Sleep disorders A prolonged period without the usual amount of sleep.
