Grant Renier, President and Developer
NeuroFission Technology, developed by Grant J Renier, called Intuitive Rationality™, is a new artificial intelligence that simulates human intuitive decision making.
By the combination of mathematics and the power of computers, Grant Renier's technology introduces a new understanding of complex system behavior, such as the investment markets. "Due to my strong belief that intuitive decision making is at the center of human interaction with complex systems," explains Mr. Renier, "my career-long goal has been to simulate that process at individual and group levels by developing an adaptive knowledge base of over confidence, risk averseness, memory decay, biases, preferences, rationalities, prejudices and other emotional factors." Intuitive Rationality™, through its application of all the elements of intuitive thought and action, leads the 'herd' in making correct decisions, and will ultimately accelerate the evolution of achieving superior decision making results. "In turn," adds Mr. Renier, "intuitive technology will exponentially advance human focus on the future edges of those very emerging complex environments."
Mr. Renier currently resides in North Carolina where he continues to pursue his personal goals in technological advancement.

Dr. Douglas Iglehart, Consulting Partner
Donald Iglehart, eminently well-known in his field of mathematics, is a consulting partner for NeuroFission. He currently is researching and developing future applications for Intuitive Rationality with Grant Renier.
"I taught and carried out research in the field of Operations Research at Cornell and Stanford Universities. My research areas include applied probability, inventory theory, queuing theory, simulation methodology, and stochastic processes. Currently I'm exploring with Grant Renier applications of Intuitive Rationality to a variety of economic time series."
