There are a lot of brain training games and apps out there. BrainHQ raises the bar. The result of 30 years of research in brain science, BrainHQ was designed by an international team of neuroscientists led by Dr. Michael Merzenich—known for his discovery of adult brain plasticity, a breakthrough that showed that anyone can strengthen their brain.
