ABOUT BRAIN HQ
Cognition is fundamental to how we experience and understand the world. When our thinking skills are sharp, we are able to navigate stress, take on new projects, build strong relationships, and more. The BrainHQ app provides a broad range of cognitive training to maximize function in the areas where study participants can benefit the most. Memory, attention, auditory processing, and social cognition are all honed through a series of “brain games”, which make the training accessible and measure success.
BRAIN HQ APP FEATURES
- Broad cognitive training: BrainHQ offers a variety of cognitive training exercises that target different aspects of brain function, including memory, attention, auditory processing, social cognition, etc.
- Accessible game design: BrainHQ delivers cognitive training in a game format, where users earn stars for making progress, which unlocks higher levels. This game interface makes the training engaging and easy to use.
- Simple instructions: Each activity includes instructions on how to complete the exercises that are simple and clear.
