Hahaha that is too funny! I am one of the current developers of ANAM (more maintainers at this point, it was written long before I worked at my current job).

It is mainly used to test for potential traumatic brain injuries by comparing current data to some kind of baseline (or normative data).

It gathers an extensive amount of data and metrics in the background. I main work directly on the tools that are used to interpret the data produced by the tests you took. :)

My buddy at work today ran across this IAMA and said "Hey I wonder if this guy took ANAM?" haha so I thought I would ask... such a small world!

Do you remember if the name of the computerized test was called ANAM?

Ya that is how it looks, the reason being is that it cannot change much or it invalidates testing data that has already been done. They already aren't normally used in such rapid succession... The Army uses ANAM a lot. A quick example would be they would take 1 series before deployment, and maybe another if they got hit by a concussive blast of some kind. The results when then be compared.

Can you tell me what agency did the testing?
