BrainHQ: Brain Training Program

Online brain training program with 29 adaptive exercises for memory, attention, brain speed, intelligence, navigation, and people skills, developed by Posit Science.

What is BrainHQ?

BrainHQ is an online software platform for brain training exercises and cognitive assessment tests. It was developed by Posit Science, a San Francisco-based company specializing in brain health technology.

The goal of BrainHQ is to enhance core cognitive abilities including memory, attention, brain speed, intelligence, navigation, and people skills through a series of interactive games and challenges. It currently consists of 29 exercises targeting different cognitive areas.

A key feature of BrainHQ is its adaptive algorithm - the difficulty level of the exercises adjusts automatically based on the user's performance. As users improve, the activities become increasingly challenging in order to promote continued brain plasticity. Performance is tracked over time so users can monitor their progress.

The BrainHQ exercises only require a computer and internet connection to complete. They incorporate a range of stimuli including shapes, numbers, faces, landscapes, and sounds to target different neural pathways. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes and is ideally completed 3-5 times per week for maximum results.

Clinical trials funded by the NIH have demonstrated that adhering to the BrainHQ training regimen for several weeks can lead to improvements in memory, attention, processing speed, and real-world competencies. However, some independent researchers have questioned the extent of transfer to untrained tasks.

BrainHQ requires a paid subscription plan (either monthly or yearly). It offers customized recommendations and training schedules based on pre-training cognitive assessments. Data from over 10 years of customer use allows BrainHQ to continue updating its cognitive training modules for enhanced outcomes.
