Update: Dementia risk reduced 29 percent by just 10 hours of computer brain plasticity training – RCT Dec 2017
Comment by the founder of VitaminDWiki Nov 2019
I have now used Posit Science for about a decade
Initially ~5 hours a week, recent years ~1/2 hour a week
If I cannot remember where I last left an item in <10 seconds
I remind myself that I need another session with Posit Science.
In addition to improving my short-term memory recall it has:
- Increased the speed at which I can listen to videos to 3X of normal speed
- Greatly increased my biking safety
- I can glance behind me and detect cars etc in < 20 milliseconds
- Greatly increased my driving safety - far more awareness
- By the way - I believe that some auto insurance companies give free Posit-Science training
- The companies have found that senior claims decreased by 50% after training

- After just 40 hours, senior brains work as though they were 14 years younger (age 70 ==> age 56)
- 3 million children used it in public schools.
- Users mix currently: 80% children, 20% adults
- Entire schools have raised their tests results from 10% to 50%
- Just as muscles need exercise, the brain needs exercise
- Practice is needed by professional musician, tennis player a person needs to give their brains practice
- 20 minutes a day. No longer than five or six or seven minutes spent on a specific task, because the benefits weaken if dwell too long
- Need to do a specific task again within a day or so
- They have created 30 cognitive exercises so far, only a few of which are in Brain HQ so far
- Schizophrenics, autistics, and Alz have been helped with Brain HQ – get out of cognitive ruts
- Have helped with cognitive losses following chemotherapy
- Currently PC, MAC, iPad
Only in English thus so far: - Clinical trials underway with the use of the SW with Traumatic Brain Injury, Schizophrenia, and Depression

- Free trial of Brain HQ
No software to install, but must be connected to the internet to do the exercises
$10 a month or $99 a year – and just $69/year for additional users - Henry Lahore has had and is still having, great benefits from ongoing use of Posit Science/Brain HQ
Diary of learning about and then using the Posit Science - Traumatic Brain Injury person found great benefit from Brain HQ
- Ted Talk on what you can do to prevent Alzheimer's April 2017
half of the talk is using neural plasticity to increase cognitive reserve - Comparison of Fast ForWord, Lumosity, and Brain HQ
