Pioneering Science
Center for BrainHealth advances the science that turns research into everyday tools that help people thrive. A leading voice in brain health, we focus on finding markers for continual improvement and measurement of the brain’s optimal state.
Established in 1999 as part of The University of Texas at Dallas, our work embodies UTD's tradition of bold, innovative scientific research, with an emphasis on exploring the brain’s strengths and advancing knowledge of neuroplasticity.
THE WORLD'S LARGEST HUMAN BRAIN DATA SET
BrainHealth Platform
Leveraging automation to track, measure and improve brain health at scale, our unique platform features the first holistic measure of brain health, customized brain training and live virtual coaching, powered by data, machine learning and research collaborations.

The First Holistic Measure of Brain Health
BrainHealth Index
Our BrainHealth Index focuses on the brain’s lifelong ability to improve, built with a proprietary algorithm from more than 20 established assessments.
Taken once, the Index provides a snapshot of a person’s current brain fitness level. Taken periodically, it shows change and improvement.
Training Based on Over 3 Decades of Research
SMART Brain Training
Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Tactics (SMART™) is our proprietary brain training methodology, teaching techniques that prime the brain, calibrate mental energy, reinforce strategic thinking and ignite innovation.
