Frequently Asked Questions
Is Brain Wave really free? ▼
Yes! 100% free forever. No subscriptions, no hidden costs, no trials that convert to paid plans. We believe cognitive training should be accessible to everyone.
Do I need to create an account? ▼
Nope! Just visit the site and start playing. Your progress, scores, and preferences are saved locally in your browser—no account, no email, no personal data required.
What makes Brain Wave different from other apps? ▼
We're completely free, track nothing about you, and focus heavily on accessibility. No dark patterns, no manipulative gamification, no aggressive upsells—just honest, effective brain training.
Does brain training actually work? ▼
Our games are based on established cognitive research in working memory, attention, processing speed, and executive function. While individual results vary, regular cognitive exercise can help maintain and improve mental sharpness.
How long should I train each day? ▼
Start with 5-10 minutes daily. Our Daily Mix takes about 8 minutes and covers all ten skill areas. Consistency matters more than duration—short, regular sessions are more effective than occasional long ones.
