Brain Gauge® Brain Assessment & Training

Measure brain function. Train it. Track real change.

Your brain is dynamic. It can adapt, strengthen, and recover when given the right input. At the same time, subtle changes in brain function often occur long before noticeable symptoms appear.

Brain Gauge®, developed by Cortical Metrics, is a unique technology that allows us to do both:

• Objectively measure brain function, and
  
  
• Actively train the brain using targeted sensory-based exercises (the Brain Gauge Brain Gym).
  
  

This dual role makes Brain Gauge one of the most powerful tools we use for brain vitality, prevention, and recovery.

What makes Brain Gauge different

Most cognitive testing focuses on memory, language, or problem-solving. Those skills are important, but they can be influenced by education level, test familiarity, mood, or compensatory strategies.

Brain Gauge works at a deeper level.

It uses gentle, precise vibrations applied to the fingertips to assess how efficiently the brain’s sensory and processing networks are functioning. The fingertips occupy a large and well-mapped area of the brain, making them an ideal window into cortical performance.

The assessment typically takes 10–15 minutes, is non-invasive, and requires no needles, imaging, or medications.

The diagnostic role: measuring brain function

Brain Gauge provides objective data across core domains of brain performance, including:

• Processing speed
  
  
• Accuracy and consistency
  
  
• Attention and mental fatigue
  
  
• Timing and sequencing
  
  
• Neural connectivity and plasticity
  
  

Together, these measures offer a clear snapshot of how efficiently your brain is communicating and adapting. This allows us to:

• Establish a baseline
  
  
• Detect subtle inefficiencies that may not yet feel dramatic
  
  
• Monitor change over time with repeat testing
  
  

In a preventive and functional medicine model, this data helps replace guesswork with measurable insight.

The therapeutic role: Brain Gauge Brain Gym

Here is where Brain Gauge truly stands apart.

The same technology used to assess brain function can also be used to train and rehabilitate the brain.

The Brain Gauge Brain Gym delivers structured, progressively challenging sensory exercises that stimulate neuroplasticity. These exercises are designed to help the brain:

• Improve processing speed and accuracy
  
  
• Strengthen attention and focus
  
  
• Enhance sensory integration and coordination
  
  
• Reduce cognitive fatigue over time
  
  

Think of this as physical therapy for the brain, using precisely calibrated sensory input rather than movement or weights.

Training sessions are gentle, engaging, and data-informed. We can repeat assessments periodically to see how your brain is responding and adjust the plan accordingly.

Why we use Brain Gauge in our practice

As a functional medicine practice focused on brain health, longevity, and cognitive resilience, we value tools that are:

• Objective
  
  
• Trackable over time
  
  
• Sensitive to early change
  
  
• Capable of supporting recovery, not just measurement
  
  

Brain Gauge allows us to pair lifestyle, metabolic, inflammatory, sleep, and stress-based interventions with a technology that both measures and supports brain adaptation. This makes progress visible and motivating.

Who benefits most from Brain Gauge testing and training?

Brain Gauge is an excellent fit for:

• Adults focused on cognitive decline prevention
  
  
• High-performing professionals noticing brain fog, slowed processing, or mental fatigue
  
  
• Individuals optimizing sleep, metabolic health, or stress resilience
  
  
• Those seeking structured brain training as part of a longevity or recovery plan
  
  

What Brain Gauge does not do

Brain Gauge does not diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other neurological conditions. It is not a replacement for medical imaging or formal neuropsychological testing.

Instead, it provides objective functional data and a training pathway that complements a comprehensive, whole-person approach to brain health.

Ready to assess and strengthen your brain?

Brain Gauge allows us to move from “How do you feel?” to “Here’s how your brain is functioning—and how we can train it.”

If you are ready for a clearer baseline, targeted brain training, and a measurable way to track progress, we invite you to schedule a Brain Gauge assessment and Brain Gym session as part of your care.

Your brain is adaptable. Let’s help it flourish.
