BrainHQ Webinars

Is there a way to toggle off auditory exercises in BrainHQ? Are visual exercises still usable if you’re colorblind? What if you have trouble moving the mouse quickly to give an answer? In this Office Hours webinar, our experts will discuss the ways we’ve made BrainHQ more accessible.

Just because cognitive decline begins in our thirties, it doesn’t mean we’re powerless to do anything about it. Brain plasticity means that the brain can adapt at any age—for better or worse. This flexibility plays an incredibly important role in our brain development (or decline) and in shaping our distinct personalities. Join our experts to learn more about why cognitive decline can occur, and what you can do to keep your brain as sharp as you can. Bring your questions!

Less than 50 years ago, computers weren’t a part of the average person’s daily life. Now, computerized technology is astonishingly widespread, and many people depend on 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 webinar on technology and the brain–and bring your questions for a Q&A following the presentation!

Bring your questions for our experts!

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?

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.

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, Dr. Mouna Attarha 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.

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 CEO and neuroscientist Dr. Henry Mahncke. There will be a Q&A after the presentation, so come with your questions!

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, neuroscientist Dr. Henry Mahncke 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!
