Cognitive Training
Take charge
of your
brain health
Decades of research show that brain-healthy strategies work to improve brain health.
Enhance thinking, memory, attention and mood in ways that greatly improve your quality of life and ability to adapt to life’s inevitable curve balls. Learning behavior modification strategies, through cognitive training, can have a dramatic impact in helping people make better brain health choices.
Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Tactics (SMART™) is Center for BrainHealth's proprietary brain training methodology, developed and tested by our researchers and other teams over three decades. This methodology provides the building blocks of our brain training programs for individual and group needs.

- Increase global blood flow to the brain
- Forge new connections and strengthen positive or weaken negative ones
- Increase cortical thickness in regions such as the frontal and parietal cortices, and reduce age-related brain shrinkage
- Improve the brain’s connective wiring by renovating the “insulation” of the long, extended fibers connecting brain cells
- Achieve all of the above through fundamental change in the networks, cells and molecules of the brain, right down to modification of gene expression
