Pioneering Science

Building on three decades of science — as part of UT Dallas, a Tier One research university — we make precision brain health possible at a population level. Our team looks beyond the traditional deficit-based approach to focus on strengths, proactive prevention and preservation.

BREAKTHROUGHS FUELED BY INNOVATION

  • A Novel BrainHealth Index PrototypeImproved by Telehealth-Delivered TrainingDuring COVID-19

    This groundbreaking study examines the potential to revolutionize global health using a holistic, personalized measure of brain fitness (the BrainHealth® Index) in conjunction with SMARTT™ Brain Training.

  • A Brain Capital Grand Strategy: TowardEconomic Reimagination

    Brain capital, a key component in shaping economic resilience, is linked to our digitalized, globalized, complex and interconnected, yet fragile, global economy. These researchers argue the time is now to catalyze a grand strategy to build brain capital.

  • Distinct Brain and Behavioral Benefits FromCognitive vs. Physical Training: ARandomized Trial in Aging Adults

    Both cognitive and physical training enhance
    brain functioning and cognition, but this randomized controlled trial (RCT) shows that cognitive training like SMART™ can have a distinct impact on executive function.

  • Efficacy of Cognitive Training WhenTranslated From the Laboratory to the RealWorld

    This study presents preliminary evidence on the efficacy of SMARTi™ protocols administered to military, veteran and law enforcement populations
    over a condensed time frame.

  • The Peripheral Effect of Direct CurrentStimulation on Brain Circuits InvolvingMemory

    Researchers have observed the activation of the noradrenergic pathway to the hippocampus can
    modify functional connectivity, supporting the consolidation of a memory event.

  • A Novel BrainHealth Index PrototypeImproved by Telehealth-Delivered TrainingDuring COVID-19

    This groundbreaking study examines the potential to revolutionize global health using a holistic, personalized measure of brain fitness (the BrainHealth® Index) in conjunction with SMARTT™ Brain Training.
