Your brain runs everything: how you think, focus, remember, move, feel and recover. Because it works quietly in the background, we usually notice it only when something changes, like a bit more fog, a shorter fuse, poorer sleep, or words that won’t come.
A change in how your brain works is never something to brush off. Most changes have understandable causes, but it’s always worth finding out. If something is sudden, new, or getting worse, don’t wait: see your doctor or go to emergency.
We’ve put some tools together for you to help you understand your brain’s performance:
Name the colour of the ink, not the word. It sounds simple until the two disagree. You’ll see how your speed and accuracy change under interference, and whether your focus holds steady or fades as it goes. It takes about two minutes, and nothing is saved.
Wait for the screen to turn green, then tap the instant it does. The hard part is the waiting. Ten quick goes show how fast you react, how even your responses are, and whether your attention wanders between signals. Allow a minute or so. Your results stay on your screen only.
Tap as fast and as steadily as you can, one hand at a time. Ten seconds is longer than it feels. Your results show your pace, how even your timing is, whether you fade towards the end, and how your two hands compare. About two minutes, and nothing leaves your device unless you choose to email it.
A short, two-round check of how quickly you can match symbols to numbers. It compares your speed on a plain task with your speed when you have to look things up, which gives you a feel for how fast you process information.
A three-minute check of how many numbers you can hold in your head for a few seconds.
Stroop Focus Test – Name the colour of the ink, not the word. It sounds simple until the two disagree. You’ll see how your speed and accuracy change under interference, and whether your focus holds steady or fades as it goes. It takes about two minutes, and nothing is saved.
No. They’re informal checks and exercises, and aren’t diagnostic of anything. If you are concerned about your results, please arrange for an appointment.
Nothing you do in the Brain Lab is saved on our site. If you choose to email a result to us, it’s sent from your own email app.
As often as you like. Results vary from day to day, so repeating at a similar time of day gives a fairer comparison.
Older children can usually try them with a parent. If you’re concerned about your child’s attention, please book an assessment.
These checks are a starting point, not a diagnosis. If a result surprised you, or something about your focus, memory or energy has changed, a comprehensive assessment looks at how your brain is working and what may be getting in the way.
