About Us
Our Mission
Transforming how we think about mental fitness and well-being
At the Northeastern University Brain Game Center for Mental Fitness and Well-being, we research, test, and disseminate evidence-based, scientifically optimized applications to benefit people in real-life cognitive challenges from how we see and hear, to our abilities to focus and remember, to how we make decisions, to how we learn and successfully tackle everyday problems.
Under the leadership of Professors Susanne Jaeggi and Aaron Seitz, our interdisciplinary team brings together Psychology and Neuroscience, Art and Design, Music, Applied Psychology and Rehabilitation Sciences, and more.
We provide exciting hands-on learning experiences for undergraduate and graduate students across the university to participate in meaningful research while encouraging entrepreneurial pursuits.
We make our tested procedures publicly available, so our innovations help our community and the world.
