Five interactive tasks. Five cognitive domains. One brain profile — and a 12-month improvement tracker. Everything happens right here on screen.
Five short tasks, each probing a different cognitive domain. Not a clinical test — a shared group experience that gives you something real to discuss together, and a personal baseline to measure your growth against at Month 6 and Month 12.
Everything is done right here on screen. No printing, no paper, no pen. Set aside about 15 quiet minutes and work through each task in order.
Do each task only once — your first attempt is the real one. At the end you'll see your Brain Profile and your score will be logged to the group improvement tracker.
Working memory — your brain's ability to hold and mentally manipulate information at the same time. Highly sensitive to aerobic fitness and one of the first domains to show subtle change in midlife.
Semantic fluency — how fast your brain retrieves stored information from long-term memory. Used in clinical cognitive screenings globally. Highly sensitive to cardiovascular fitness. Typical healthy midlife range: 18–25 animals in 60 seconds.
Inhibitory control — suppressing a dominant automatic response in favour of a less automatic one. The friction you feel is your prefrontal cortex doing exactly the work we're here to train. This region is highly responsive to aerobic exercise and vulnerable to chronic stress.
Episodic memory — encoding new information and retrieving it after a delay. The hippocampus, which manages memory consolidation, is one of the most exercise-responsive brain structures and one of the first affected by Alzheimer's pathology. Sleep quality from the night before has a large acute effect on this score.
Sustained attention — maintaining focus on a repetitive task over time. Errors of omission reflect attention lapses; speed reflects processing efficiency. Both are sensitive to sleep quality, stress load, and cardiovascular fitness. Attention is the gateway to every other cognitive domain.
This doesn't rank you by today's scores. It ranks by improvement over 12 months. The person who grows the most — from wherever they started — leads the board. Your baseline today is your personal starting line.
At Month 6 and Month 12, you'll repeat the same tasks and your improvement percentage will appear here.
The person at the top at Month 12 is the one who improved the most — not the one who started strongest. That's the whole point of being here.
Naomi will open the group discussion in the forum. Read these prompts now — they'll shape how you reflect before you post.
Both are highly sensitive to aerobic fitness. Exercise interventions consistently produce measurable improvements within weeks to months — one of the strongest evidence bases in cognitive ageing research.
The prefrontal cortex governs inhibitory control and is one of the most exercise-responsive brain regions. Aerobic training increases grey matter volume here. Chronic stress degrades it.
Sleep is the single most powerful acute modulator of memory performance. The hippocampus is one of the first regions to show neurogenesis in response to exercise, and one of the first affected by Alzheimer's pathology.
Attention is the gateway to all other cognitive functions. You can't form a memory for something you didn't attend to. Cardiovascular fitness, sleep quality, and lower chronic stress all improve this capacity.
