Posit Science

Posit Science develops BrainHQ, a digital cognitive training platform designed to improve brain health and cognitive performance through adaptive brain exercises. The platform offers specialized training modules targeting memory, attention, processing speed, social cognition (people skills), decision-making, and navigation. Founded on 30 years of neuroscience research in neuroplasticity and led by Dr. Michael Merzenich (discoverer of adult brain plasticity), BrainHQ employs adaptive algorithms that adjust exercise difficulty in real-time based on user performance. The system is used across diverse markets including public libraries, Medicare Advantage insurance plans, professional and collegiate sports organizations, hospitals and medical centers designated as Centers of Excellence, military and law enforcement training facilities, and community colleges. More than 100 published research studies—predominantly independently conducted—document cognitive benefits including faster processing, improved focus, and enhanced memory. BrainHQ operates as a SaaS platform accessible on desktop and mobile devices, with sessions typically requiring less than five minutes. The company partners with healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and sports franchises. Training is personalized through a machine-learning personal trainer feature that continuously monitors performance and recommends targeted exercises. The platform supports clinical integration and institutional deployment.
