100+ Published Research Studies
All brain training is not created equally. BrainHQ sets the gold standard. Simply put, no other brain-training program comes close to BrainHQ's level of scientific proof. Our exercises and assessments have been rigorously tested and scientifically proven to be beneficial in more than 100 independent, peer-reviewed research papers published in scientific journals—and many more studies are underway. BrainHQ has been shown to bring substantial improvements in each of these categories:
 Many of the BrainHQ exercises are designed to increase processing speed—how quickly (and accurately) the brain can process information coming in from vision and hearing. To date, 20 scientific papers have shown faster processing after training with BrainHQ exercises. This includes the ACTIVE study, one of the largest and most respected studies ever conducted on brain training in adults. Among other things, individual studies have shown:

 Seventeen scientific papers have measured memory performance in people before and after using BrainHQ exercises. Among other things, researchers have shown:

The ability to appropriately focus your attention is very important to feeling sharp. Not only do you have to pay close attention to what matters to you; it’s equally important to be able to filter out the distractions. Seven published papers have shown that training with BrainHQ exercises can hone attentional focus including:

A common question is: Does BrainHQ brain training make things easier or better in everyday life, or does it just “teach to the test”? In addition to improvements in memory and other key skills, BrainHQ training has now been shown in 18 published research papers to help people perform activities of daily living more efficiently and accurately. Among other things, studies have shown:

Many people think vision depends on the eyes, and hearing on the ears. That ’s only partly true. The brain is responsible for processing what they eyes and ears take in. Training with BrainHQ exercises has been shown to:

Training to improve performance is a good thing, but does it actually change the brain? In seventeen imaging studies (including fMRI and EEG), researchers have measured changes in the brain itself after training with BrainHQ. Among other things, they have shown that BrainHQ training can:

 Six research papers have examined the effects of using a BrainHQ exercise on mood and control. These have shown that people who used that exercise:

It might seem like a stretch, but better brain fitness may, in some cases, actually lead to better health. Several studies have shown that using BrainHQ exercises can help protect health over time:

 Safe driving requires a lot of brainpower. 18 published papers have shown that BrainHQ exercises—particularly Double Decision—are great tools for assessing and improving driving safety. Among other things, these studies have shown that when drivers with slower visual processing train on Double Decision, they:

Did you know that when you fall or have another mobility issue, the fault is as much your brain’s as your body’s? That’s because balance relies on multiple cognitive and sensory systems, including the visual-spatial and visual-motor systems. BrainHQ’s visual training exercises are designed to improve these systems. To date, five studies have been one on fall risk and mobility using BrainHQ exercises and assessments. These have shown that:

To date, two studies have demonstrated that using exercises in BrainHQ can reduce average health care expenditures. The larger of the two, based on the ACTIVE study data, showed that using BrainHQ significantly reduced healthcare costs one year post-training. Costs continued to be lower 5 years later.
