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.

Everyone who complains about this app wants games, not training. Most entitled people want free training on of it. This has a lot of scientists that have worked, reviewed, and confirmed this app and its work/benefits. There are a lot of 'games', if you dont like one, just skip it. This is the only app I've tried that can constantly make me feel 'worn out', after only a couple games at that. Other apps are usually just games with a facade of brain training, they don't work anything though.

I like this game but some of the tests need better instructions. I was just doing the one where you have to say if two items are the same and the instructions didn't say anything about tiny differences that make no sense. Several times the items appear identical and somehow they don't match.. and other times they are obviously different but when I click no it's wrong.

Most of the levels don't give instructions. If you click on the "i" icon, it shows nothing. The audio is all the way up, and there aren't spoken instructions, eitger. So you're guessing at what the rules are, even in sessions where is says the rules change each level. Wouldn't considet paying for the subscription version because of this.
