There are many types of brain health research studies taking place in Canada, the US and the UK. Some are for basic research to study how the brain functions, some are for drug trials, some are for medical devices, and some are for Internet tools like the Cogniciti Brain Health Assessment you just completed. Research volunteers can participate in some studies from their homes while other studies require going to a test location.

Cogniciti’s Brain Health Registry brings researchers together with potential volunteers, making it easier for people interested in contributing to brain health research to become involved in relevant research studies.
