We’re Here to Revolutionize Brain Health

Neuroflight's mission is to create major positive change on the Alzheimer's crisis through our digital wellness tools, which are based on verifiable science.

Our product is science in disguise. Based on the research of neurologist Professor Chandramallika Basak, one of the world's top researchers on non-invasive digital brain training and the ageing brain, successful NIH trials demonstrate that our Bird Watch game improves cognition for healthy older adults and grows grey matter and synapses in exactly the regions of the brain that Alzheimer's targets.

We are committed to rolling out this truly effective solution for ageing brains globally and improving millions of people's lives.

Learn about the science behind Bird Watch:

This NIH study and clinical trial lays out the scientific data for why Bird Watch has such a powerful impact on cognition and the aging brain.

These additional studies shows that just 5 hours of unpredictable training transfers to episodic LTM more than predictable training in healthy aging.

This paper on Bird Watch demonstrates how older adults learn and that this learning is related to brain structures that are AD sensitive.

This paper outlines the theory on why unpredictable is better than predictable and demonstrates its veracity. Also includes other studies that support it.
