Cognitive Brain Health Test
One of the blogs that never fails to provide me with some food for thought is Zack Lynch’s Brain Waves.
He has just alerted his readers to a very interesting resource.
The Brain Resource Company launched a free, confidential, 40-minute cognitive brain test in partnership with the Alliance for Aging Research. The company is offering the test at no cost until May 14, 2007.
When you first click on the link for the test, you are taken to a page on Brain Health with a great many links.
I am extremely familiar with the literature on the brain, aging and cognition. So on your behalf, I passed a critical eye over the material. I was really pleased with it. I have one or two very minor quibbles, and one or two of the links are not working yet, but overall the information is excellent and above all reliable.
One thing about doing the test is that it needs for you to be using Windows. So we Macintosh users are left out in the cold. But the test is well worth doing, so if you are a Macintosh user, you might want to see if you can borrow a Windows machine for an hour.
