Mobile Brain Bank

Mobile Brain Bank: Cognitive Assessment & Research

A mobile app for cognitive assessments, data donation, and tracking cognitive health, aiming to create the world's largest open database on human cognition.

What is Mobile Brain Bank?

Mobile Brain Bank is a mobile application developed by researchers and scientists with the goal of advancing our understanding of the human brain and cognition. The app allows users to take a variety of cognitive assessments spanning memory, attention, problem-solving, language, and more. Upon completion of these assessments, users have the option to donate their results to the Mobile Brain Bank database.

This crowdsourced database aims to become the largest open repository of human cognitive performance data in the world. The data donated by Mobile Brain Bank app users is being used by researchers to study brain health and functioning across the lifespan. Analyses of this data may provide insights into optimizing education systems, identifying early risk factors for dementia, developing cognitive training programs, and tracking the effects of medications or lifestyle interventions on cognition.

A key feature of the Mobile Brain Bank app is the ability for users to privately track their own cognitive performance over time. After completing baseline assessments, users can retake the same tests at regular intervals (e.g. monthly, annually) and view their results. This allows people to monitor their cognitive health and notice any significant changes or trends at the earliest stages. The app also provides resources and tips for maintaining brain health based on the latest scientific research.

By making ongoing cognitive assessments convenient through a mobile app interface, researchers hope to empower large numbers of people to actively manage their own brain health. The data donated to science will ultimately advance our understanding of cognition and translate those discoveries into improved education, health, and quality of life.
