Your Brain Age score is a data-driven assessment that compares your brain function to normative patterns across different age groups. It's calculated using 187 different brain characteristics measured during a 7-minute resting state scan with the Kernel Flow headset.

The Brain Age algorithm has been trained on extensive datasets and validated against multiple cohorts. While it provides valuable insights into brain function patterns, it's an exploratory wellness tool and should be considered alongside other health assessments.

You'll be fitted with the comfortable Kernel Flow headset and asked to relax during a 7-minute scanning session. The remaining time includes setup and preparation.

Yes! Your personalized Brain Age report is generated immediately after the scan.

Absolutely. The Kernel Flow is a non-invasive device that uses near-infrared light to measure brain activity. It's completely painless and safe, with no radiation or magnetic fields involved.

Yes, that's one of the most valuable aspects of Brain Age testing. By establishing your baseline and retesting periodically, you can track how lifestyle interventions, treatments, or aging affect your cognitive function.

A higher Brain Age isn't necessarily concerning — it's simply one data point about your current brain function.
