Imagine offering your library patrons the benefits of BrainHQ training with the ease of checking out a book. Posit Science, the developers of BrainHQ, is bringing brain training to libraries all across the country.
BrainHQ is computerized brain training built on the 21st century science of brain plasticity — the scientific breakthrough which showed how brains can rewire throughout life to improve brain health and performance. It’s been designed, tested, and validated by a global team of more than 600 university-based scientists and is used by leading medical centers, health plans, and communities, and by elite athletes, the military, and other organizations focused on peak performance
Proven to Work and It’s Fun! BrainHQ includes dozens of brain training exercises and brain health assessments and can be used from any computer or mobile device. It’s easy to learn, it’s fun, and best of all — it’s been proven to work in hundreds of independent studies.
Serve Your Community: Make BrainHQ—the leading scientifically-based brain training program—available to your library patrons at no cost to them. BrainHQ integrates with electronic library management systems (LMS), allowing your patrons to check out a full version of BrainHQ—with all of the benefits and features offered to subscribers – directly from you.
