Everyone knows that our mind slows down when we age, there is no secret behind that. However, at what point does your mind start to retire? Many people disregard the fact that mental decline is a lifelong process, and starts at an early age. Take a look at what the experts have to say, and you will understand our passion in helping you to solve this problem.

We are often asked, “Are there any scientific proof that the EEG headband paired with the Neuroscience-designed games work?” Here we have compiled our research presenting some significant validation work that shows proof that cognitive performance can be enhanced through EEG-neurofeedback, and recently, EEG-based technology has become more popular in “serious” games designs and developments.
