My two previous posts this morning focus on Alzheimer’s news. While researching the current posts I discovered Cambridge Brain Sciences -a website that provides scientifically proven tools for the assessment of cognitive function over the web. The Cambridge Brain Sciences concept was developed by Dr Adam Hampshire and Dr Adrian M. Owen at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit.
Members of the public and the wider scientific community can assess their cognitive function using rigorously tested and scientifically proven tests of memory, attention, reasoning and planning. All of the test made available on the site have been used in scientific studies of brain function by Dr Owen and his team at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and have been described in more than 150 scientific publications in leading academic journals.
Ive included a video demonstrating one of the tests. You can try one test from each Test Category without registering, or you can register your details to gain access to all of the tests and find out how you compare to other people like you. link to try tests
