Measure How Well Your Brain Works

Cognitive Media has a free iPad application that takes you through a battery of scientific assessments of brain performance using game-like activities.  There are over 14 assessments that:

“…use the same laboratory analyses neuroscientists use to measure memory, attention, and processing speed, providing users with the ability to test their cognitive functioning.”

This is an excellent tool for any one interested in taking a systematic approach to improving brain function and cognitive performance.  You can use it to periodically measure your attention, executive function, working memory, visual motor coordination, spatial processing and speed of processing.   If the results improve you will have good evidence that your Next Brain efforts are paying off.

A version called  Brainbaseline Pocket is due out for the iPhone. I plan on completing the assessments on that App and will blog about the results.

I am interested to hear from readers that have used Brainbaseline. How often to you re-take a given assessment to check for improvement?
