Who can benefit from being part of a Stronger Brains program?
As our name suggests, we believe that everyone can benefit from a Stronger Brain. Whether you’re someone who needs help improving focus and attention, an athlete looking to speed up your brain’s processing time or a university student trying to improve your memory capacity, our program can help. Executive functions underlie the skills that are essential for mental and physical health: cognitive, social, and psychological development. When an individual’s executive functions are operating effectively, the person has cognitive flexibility and can control their impulses, focus and pay attention (Diamond and Lee, Science 2011).
How much does the program cost?

How long does the program take?
Every brain is different so the answer to this question will vary from brain to brain. Previous research has found that 30 hours of training is able to produce significant cognitive improvements from baseline to post-training. Stronger Brains recommend achieving this goal through 30 minutes to 1 hour of training daily.
Don’t be discouraged by 30 hours as other studies of targeted cognitive training indicate that even under 10 hours of training demonstrates significant cognitive improvement. What’s really important here is that you start. There’s absolutely nothing to lose.
