We are committed to improving brain health. As part of our practice, we now check up on areas such as memory, attention, reasoning, and verbal ability as part of a standard assessment of cognitive performance. After a few quick, fun tasks, you’ll have an objective measure of how your cognition is doing today, like a blood pressure cuff for your brain
Objectively Measure Your Cognitive Function
Whether you’re recovering from a neurological condition, or seeking optimal brain health and wellness, it all starts with an engaging and scientifically-validated cognitive assessment.
Take Action
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of your brain health, which will be used by healthcare professionals to individualize treatment or wellness plans according to your needs
- Re-assess your cognition throughout treatment to objectively measure improvements, giving you confidence that interventions are having the desired affects
- Continue monitoring post-treatment to ensure you’re maintaining a level of cognitive function that enables you to live your best life
How does it work?
Using a tablet, desktop or laptop computer, you’ll take a series of quick, fun, and engaging tasks that have been scientifically validated to measure your memory, concentration, reasoning and verbal abilities—all core areas of cognition that are integral to your quality of life.
Can you spot the “Odd One Out”? This task measures your deductive reasoning ability. Common, everyday situations that require deductive reasoning include:
- Following a set of rules during tax-time and determining you qualify for a rebate
- Coming to conclusions about what’s safe for you to eat given a set of dietary restrictions
- Choosing the best hotel to stay at according to the criteria that matter to you most
How will results be used?
Results for each task you complete will indicate where you stand relative to others in your age group. Over time, and as you advance through a treatment or wellness plan, you’ll begin to see performance trends so that you can objectively evaluate how you are progressing. Your healthcare professional will use this information during intake to ensure they target the right areas during treatment, and then re- assess periodically to measure progress.

As part of our standard intake process, you are required to complete an online cognitive assessment before your first visit, which will provide a validated and objective measure of core aspects of your cognitive function. These measures will allow us to quantify the effects of TMS, enabling you to measure progress throughout our treatment plans. Please carefully note the following:
- The assessment will be sent separately via email from info@cambridgebrainsciences.com. Please ensure you complete the assessment on a tablet or desktop computer, using Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Note: if for some reason you don’t get the assessment in the next 30 minutes, please check your “Spam” folder.
- The assessment will take approximately 35-45 minutes—please ensure you are in a quiet room free of distractions (turn off your smartphone notifications), and give your full focus to the assessment.
- No preparation is required and the tasks are short, quite engaging and fun—each task comes with a simple guided tutorial to ensure you quickly get up to speed on the task instructions.
- The assessment *must* be completed prior to your visit and within 24 hours of having received the assessment email.
