Teachable Moment: Test My Brain


Two lab groups at Harvard University are collaborating around a common goal: understanding how the human brain works. The website Test my Brain is part of how they are conducting their research. The site allows the researchers to expand their participant pool by engaging internet users across varying demographics and populations.

Why we like it: Test my Brain is using the internet to advance scientific research and education. They can use the internet-generated information to further their research allowing them to post their results and findings. All of the experiments are personalized to the user, and they’re fun! You can test your short-term memory, facial recognition abilities, and your “number gut.” Click on over and give it a try.
