A McGill University clinical trial found that older adults who completed 30 minutes of BrainHQ training daily for 10 weeks showed significant cognitive benefits. Among 92 participants aged 65+, those using BrainHQ demonstrated improved cholinergic function—linked to memory, attention, and decision-making—restoring it to levels seen in people 10 years younger.
