Music and the Brain
April 17, 2024 10:00am PDT /1:00pm EDT

Music—it makes us tap our feet, changes our heart rates, inspires our souls. But how does it affect our brains? Find out in this live webinar led by our neuroscientists. They’ll talk about how our brains take in music, and how listening to and playing music changes the brain. You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions and share a little about your experience with music, too!

Technology and the Brain
June 12, 2024 10:00am PDT /1:00pm EDT

Less than 50 years ago, computers weren’t a part of the average person’s daily life. Now, computerized technology is astonishingly widespread, and most people depend on such technology for communication, entertainment, transportation, and much more. How have our brains adapted to this rapid rise in technology–and what are the implications for how our brains work? Find out in this BrainHQ Academy webinar on technology and the brain–and bring your questions for a Q&A following the presentation!

Pets can be wonderful companions–providing comfort, exercise, and love. But did you know that having a pet can also be good for the brain? Playing with and taking care of our pets stimulate our brains in important ways that promote brain health.

All About the Attention Exercises
September 18, 2024 10:00am PDT /1:00pm EDT

Does it drive you crazy when you can’t remember where you put your keys? It’s probably because you weren’t paying much attention when you set them down. BrainHQ’s Attention category of exercises can help! In this live webinar, learn all about why our Attention exercises are designed as they are, how they can benefit you, and tips and tricks for using them. Bring your questions for a Q&A, too!  

How Grief Affects the Brain
October 16, 2024 10:00am PDT /1:00pm EDT

Most of us have experienced heartbreaking loss of some kind–of a loved one, a relationship, a home. The grief that accompanies such a loss can feel overwhelming. That’s because the brain encodes something we love into our brain, so that it becomes a part of us. In this webinar, our experts will talk about this process from a neurological perspective. Learning what is happening in the brain when we grieve won’t change the loss, but may help us bear it with better understanding.

Learning About Brain Health Research
November 13, 2024 10:00am PDT /1:00pm EDT

Have you ever wondered how research on brain health is conducted? What steps go into a “gold-standard” research study? When, if ever, a study’s results are considered definitive? What are the most important studies on BrainHQ, and what did they show? Learn all about research on brain health–and BrainHQ–in this live webinar, led by our neuroscientists. There will be a Q&A after the presentation, so come with your questions!

The Different Facets of Memory
December 11, 2024 10:00am PDT /1:00pm EDT

When we think about memory, we often think about remembering life experiences (such as a wedding) or facts we have learned (that 2+2=4). But memory is so much more! It’s what allows us to do everything we had to learn at one point in life—even things as simple as using a spoon. In this webinar, our neuroscientists will explain how our brains form and recall memories, why forgetting can be useful, what can affect memory (for better or worse), and so much more. He’ll also suggest ideas for keeping your memory healthy and answer questions from the audience!
