Speed-Based Brain Training May Lower Dementia Risk by 25%

A Johns Hopkins–led follow-up to the ACTIVE trial finds that a speed-based brain-training game called Double Decision, available on BrainHQ, reduced dementia risk by about 25% over 20 years for older adults who completed months of training with booster sessions. The benefit is thought to arise from implicit learning and neuroplastic changes, with lasting effects; only the speed game showed advantages among memory and problem-solving games. The program is accessible today and can complement regular exercise and a Mediterranean-style diet for dementia prevention.

Speed-focused brain training linked to 25% dementia risk drop, study finds

A 20-year study of 2,800 healthy older adults found that speed-based brain training (Double Decision by BrainHQ) with booster sessions reduced dementia risk by about 25% compared with no training, while memory and reasoning training did not. The authors suggest a mechanism in procedural learning, but caution that results may not generalize to everyone and depend on ongoing training and boosters, among other factors in brain health strategies.

Revolutionary Brain Exercises May Reverse Aging and Boost Cognitive Health

A recent study suggests that a ten-week online brain training program using BrainHQ can make older adults' brains act as if they are a decade younger, by increasing activity in key brain regions, though the findings are preliminary and based on a small sample. The study highlights the potential of mental exercises to support brain health and delay cognitive decline, but emphasizes that longer-term and more inclusive research is needed to confirm these benefits.

"Promising Results: Online Brain Training Games Boost Cognition in MS Trial"

A small clinical trial conducted in Nebraska found that the use of a computer-based program called BrainHQ led to significant improvements in cognitive test scores among people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study included 52 adults with relapsing-remitting MS who underwent cognitive training with BrainHQ for six weeks. The results showed that the participants who underwent the BrainHQ training had significantly better cognitive function compared to the control group. The findings suggest that computerized cognitive training with BrainHQ could be a valuable option for MS patients experiencing cognitive decline.
