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.
We operate pop-up locations throughout the SF Bay Area. When you book your appointment through Calendly, you’ll see available times and locations to choose the one most convenient for you.
