The Science Behind

Cognition Scan

The Cognition Scan measures real-time brain activity using near-infrared light to track changes in cortical oxygenation — an indicator of neural engagement and performance.

Your personalized cognitive map is generated from data collected during a series of short, interactive tasks.

  • Measures how effectively you sustain concentration and shift attention between tasks. Helps identify periods of mental fatigue or lapses in focus that impact productivity and performance.

  • Assesses how quickly and accurately your brain encodes, stores, and retrieves information. Provides insight into both short-term working memory and long-term recall efficiency.

  • Tracks the rate at which your brain receives, interprets, and responds to new information. Higher processing speed reflects greater neural efficiency and adaptability.

  • Evaluates how your brain maintains performance under stress or after sustained effort. Reveals your ability to recover and adapt to mental strain — a key factor in long-term cognitive health.

  • Analyzes the relationship between brain activation and task performance.
    A more efficient brain uses less energy to achieve better outcomes — a marker of cognitive optimization and longevity.

Important Note

Cognition is an exploratory wellness tool designed to provide insight into brain function and performance. It is not a medical diagnosis and should not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult qualified healthcare providers regarding medical concerns.

How It Works

Getting your Cognition Scan is simple, comfortable, and provides immediate, actionable data about your brain’s performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Cognition Scan is a 25-minute assessment that measures how your brain performs in real time across key cognitive domains — including focus, memory, processing speed, and resilience. Using the Kernel Flow headset, it captures your brain’s oxygenation patterns as you complete short, interactive tasks to reveal how efficiently your brain processes information.
The Cognition algorithm is built on Kernel’s proprietary neuroimaging technology and validated through extensive research collaborations. While it provides highly detailed, data-driven insights into cognitive performance, it’s an exploratory wellness tool — not a medical diagnostic test — and should be considered as part of a broader longevity strategy.
You’ll be fitted with the lightweight, non-invasive Kernel Flow headset. After a short setup, you’ll complete a series of guided tasks designed to evaluate attention, memory, and cognitive flexibility. The entire process takes about 25 minutes, including preparation, scanning, and review.
Your personalized Cognition report is processed and delivered the same day as your scan. You’ll receive a detailed summary of your results, including insights into your cognitive performance profile.
Absolutely. Kernel Flow is a non-invasive device that uses safe, near-infrared light to monitor brain activity — similar to how a pulse oximeter measures oxygen levels. There’s no radiation, no magnets, and no discomfort involved.
Yes. Establishing your baseline with a Cognition Scan allows you to track how your brain responds to interventions like sleep optimization, nutrition changes, training, or stress management. We recommend retesting every 6–12 months to measure progress and guide your longevity plan.
BrainAge provides an estimate of your brain’s biological age based on resting-state activity. Cognition goes deeper — it measures your brain in action, capturing how it performs and adapts in real time across multiple cognitive domains.
