Gain Insight into Your Brain Health Like Never Before

Brain Gauge Cognitive Assessment

At The Connected Mind, we offer the Brain Gauge, an advanced cognitive assessment tool that provides measurable, real-time insight into how your brain is functioning. Using tactile sensory testing through your fingertips, the Brain Gauge reveals subtle shifts in brain performance that are often missed by standard assessments.

How it works

During the test, two small probes gently stimulate your fingertips. You’ll answer simple questions on what you felt (like which side buzzed first or stronger), and the Brain Gauge software will analyze your responses to assess your brain’s performance. It's non-invasive, quick, and offers immediate, easy-to-read results.

What Does It Measure?

In just 15 minutes, the Brain Gauge tests eight key areas of cognitive function:

🧠 Speed – how quickly your brain processes input

🎯 Focus – how well you sustain attention

😴 Fatigue – how mental exertion affects your performance

🎯 Accuracy – how precisely your brain interprets stimuli

🔢 Sequencing – the order in which your brain processes events

⏱️ Timing Perception – your brain’s internal clock

🌱 Plasticity – how adaptable your brain is to change

🔗 Connectivity – how different regions of your brain communicate

These are combined into a single corticalmetric score—a mental fitness indicator you can use to monitor change over time.
