Neureka! Brain Health Research Is Leaving the Lab, and Coming to Your Smartphone (VIDEO)
Caption
Scientists at the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) at Trinity College Dublin have developed a new smartphone app to carry out a range of major research projects designed to tackle the brain basis of disorders of the mind - from the most widespread mental health disorders like depression, anxiety and dementia. The new smartphone app, called neureka, is a collection of research studies delivered through brain games and self-reflection challenges that allows users to have fun and learn about themselves, while also playing a major part in cutting edge scientific research. Among several research studies delivered through the app, one will help the team at GBHI to identify modifiable risk factors for disorders of the mind - things that individuals and policy-makers can do to prevent people from developing these potentially devastating conditions.
