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.

Active projects include:

Cognitive Training Projects

Our projects encompass a broad spectrum of cognitive training, targeting basic skills like attention and memory across diverse populations with goals ranging from rehabilitating cognitive abilities, to enhancing cognition for superior performance.

Perceptual Training Projects

At the Brain Game Center, we conduct various studies aimed at enhancing perceptual function by using software designed to train the brain in processing sensory information from the eyes and ears more effectively.


Measuring Cognition & Perception

In our pursuit to train cognitive and perceptual abilities, we also create tools to comprehend individual cognitive and perceptual needs.

 

 

Improving and Sharing Research Tools

The Brain Game Center is committed to open science and tool sharing. In addition to making our software freely available, we also develop open-source tools and have projects specifically dedicated to tool sharing.
