For Brain Awareness Week, two new memory exercises have been added to BrainHQ, and they’re free for you to try this week.
Brain Awareness Week is the global campaign to raise awareness of the benefits and progress of brain research. Events are planned across the planet such as, open houses at neuroscience labs, free lectures on how the brain works, displays and workshops at schools, libraries and community centres. Check the calendar of events to see what is happening near you.
In support of Brain Awareness Week, our new exercises improve the fitness to some interesting aspects of brain function—remembering sounds and objects with distractions present. These exercises are free until March 22, but to easily access them later, simply join BrainHQ.
Kind regards, Frieda Fanni

Can you train your brain to choose salad over cheeseburgers?
Planning to make healthy eating choices is easy, but sticking to it is one of the hardest things for us to do. Our brains are always trying to sabotage our attempts to eat healthy. It may; however, be possible to train our brains to prefer healthy choices. Find out how
