About this app

Train your brain with BrainHQ from Posit Science—the most rigorous program available for better brain health, and the only one backed by more than 100 scientific papers showing benefits. Now with new features that contribute to your brain fitness success!

BrainHQ represents the culmination of 30 years of research in neurological science and related medicine. Top scientists from around the world helped to develop and test the BrainHQ exercises. The result: a training system that comprehensively improves brain function, from the most basic elements of perception through the most complex elements of memory, thinking, and decision-making.

No other brain fitness program can match BrainHQ in scientific proof. More than 100 publications from independent, randomized controlled trials have shown that the exercises and assessments in BrainHQ drive real change. These changes include:
• functional changes, such as better memory and faster processing speed
• real-world abilities, including safer driving and a lower chance of depressive symptoms
• physical brain changes, like healthier white matter and more coordinated neurons.

All of this means that BrainHQ works—in laboratory studies, and in the lives of everyday people:

The BrainHQ app helps you set and achieve your brain training goals—so it not only works, it works for you.

Each exercise adapts to your performance and gets more challenging as your performance improves, just like a personal trainer for your brain.

The training is designed to fit into your life: train for just 5 minutes in your spare time, or do a complete workout in an hour.

Brain hq Pc online version is excellent. This app is buggy and infuriating. I will give specific examples. First of all, the face to face game is a joke, I have multiple screenshots of the "matching" faces demonstrating completely different expressions. Second of all, the game optical flow just does not work. Thirdly, I need to continually tap my phone while playing true North because for some reason my phone goes to sleep while I'm playing the game.

Great brain training, poor app execution. On PC the challenges work great. On a phone often the app will not download content correctly and an activity requiring audio is silent ('In The Know' & 'True North'). 'Mental map' will sometimes mark you wrong. You get to watch the replay demonstrate why you were right while it shows the stored answer you were graded wrong against. Needs work Posit Science. I'm a software developer, drop me an email if you would like assistance.

Best of all the brain training options for actual results and most activities based on hard science and very well targeted on specific skills. However, one or two of the activities just don't work on a mobile platform eg rhythm recall is hopelessly compromised on a touch screen interface. Devs please admit defeat on this one and get rid of it!
