Brain HQ

BrainHQ is an online brain-training system that represents the culmination of 30 years of research in neurological science and related medicine. Changing your brain takes some work—so while the BrainHQ exercises are sometimes fun, they can also be difficult. But they always give a useful, meaningful workout to your unique brain. Using a special algorithm, each exercise adapts in difficulty as you work so that you always train at the optimum level for you—where you are most likely to make cognitive improvements. It takes less than five minutes to do each BrainHQ level, so you can use it in tiny bites or long blocks, depending on your schedule.
