Through use of a wider variety of games, users may remain challenged longer and therefore continue cognitive and other improvements.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Thinkie system collect any data from the brain?

The Thinkie system does not collect any type of sensitive personal data; it only measures blood flow to the prefrontal cortex. Each user chooses a username for their account, and each account has a unique identifier. The account name and its unique identifier are used only to track your Thinkie sessions and scores and to personalize your experience.

Does getting correct answer matter in any way when Thinkie Points are calculated?

Not at all! You don’t have to beat or win the games -- just try your best. The most important thing is to increase your brain activity while playing the games.

Does using Thinkie actually improve cognitive function?

According to research conducted by our partner NeU, there is evidence of brain age rejuvenation of an average 3.7 years among individuals who used Thinkie for 3 months.

Does the Thinkie sensor still work even if it's upside down?

Yes – orientation of the sensor does not matter, so long as it is not blocked by hair or anything else.

Does it matter the side of the forehead the sensor is placed?

Not usually, because everyone is unique, but you can try placing the sensor on both sides to see if your Thinkie score changes. Left-handed people use the right brain more for manual tasks, and vice versa for right-handed people, but brain lateralization is more complex than this simple dichotomy would imply.
