Did you know that one of our BrainHQ exercises—Double Decision—improves your useful field of view and makes you a safer driver? Several published studies have shown that when drivers train on Double Decision, they

• make 38% fewer dangerous driving maneuvers
• can stop 22 ft (about 7 m) sooner when driving at 55 mi/hour (88 km/hour)
• feel more confident driving in difficult conditions such as at night, in bad weather, or in new places
• cut their at-fault crash risk by 48%
• keep their licence later in life

If, through this fun yet scientifically proven exercise, we can save our lives and others, why not log in to your BrainHQ account now and start training. If you still don’t have full access, please join now.

Dementia’s little known cause
With dementia, thinking and memory fade to the point that carrying out day-to-day functions becomes difficult or impossible. When you think of the disorders that cause dementia, most people first think of Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. But do you know what the third most common cause is? Read on to find out what it is and why we haven’t heard of it before here.

Where did I park my car?
Whenever you park your car in a large parking lot, you might use a number of tricks to remember where you park. Most likely, you make a mental note of a landmark, pillar, or some recognizable signage. When you do that, you’re focusing your attention on what’s important and ignoring other environmental stimuli. A new study has discovered the brain circuit responsible for this wayfinding ability. Learn how this circuit fine-tunes your attention to what is most important here.

Love at first sight?
There’s something that happens when the eyes of two people meet across a bustling room or market. For thousands of years, we’ve tried to capture this phenomenon in art and literature. But scientists have had a hard time studying it at the neurological level, mostly because, up until now, social perception studies haven’t been equipped to examine social interactions. A team of researchers has overcome this obstacle. Learn what the implications of this are here.
