This is the 83rd instalment in a series on dementia, including the research into its causes and treatment, advice for carers, and stories of hope.
Doing “brain training” tests can make me a bit nervous. The anxiety triggers silly mistakes, and then “poor” results make me more anxious – especially when they are dementia tests. What if I fail, or my score points to a suboptimal brain response?
I am also suspicious of them: how could an online test measure brain response accurately, and – even more importantly – how does that test relate to supporting brain health?
