General Overview

If you're in need of a little motivation to start adding healthy habits to your daily routine for optimal brain health, consider the brainSpeedOmeter™. It’s an ideal way to track your progress whether you’re focusing on healthy foods, dietary supplements, physical and mental exercises, stress management or other behaviors known to affect your cognition.

The brainSpeedOmeter™ is a cognitive assessment test developed by experts in technology and neuroscience at Cognitive Labs, Inc. For years, university researchers have been turning to this Mountain View, Calif.-based company for valid and accurate research tools to assess cognitive function.

Now, thanks to the convenience of the Internet, health-conscious consumers can measure their own cognitive function using the very same testing methods once reserved for research.
