Creyos

The Independent features Adrian Owen OBE, FRS, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, and the Brain & Body study. The article highlights the unanticipated findings that those who regularly play video games have improved skills like learning, attention, perception and memory, performing, on average 13.7 years younger cognitively than those who do not. On the other hand, physical activity has a greater impact on improving mental health. The researchers in this study used the Creyos tasks to accurately and sensitively capture differences in cognitive performance across diverse groups of participants.

The Creyos team heads to the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Fall Conference in Las Vegas this weekend! AAN conferences bring together professionals and resources to explore hot topics and innovations in the world of neurology. If you’re attending, swing by our booth to learn more about how we work with neurologists to obtain accurate, accessible, and timely data on their patients' cognitive function, without referral to neuropsych. 👋 Looking forward to seeing you there! #AANFallConference #Neurology

Prof. Adrian Owen OBE, FRS, PhD, our Chief Scientific Officer, is at the Manchester Science Festival this week with the BrainsCAN at Western University Lab, showcasing the Brain & Body Study! This study investigates the relationship between cognitive performance and physical health, examining whether exercise can enhance cognitive function and which aspects benefit the most. The study also extends into exciting territory, exploring whether playing video games can improve cognitive abilities. The researchers use Creyos tasks to measure these effects with high sensitivity, offering insights into the impact of both exercise and gaming on brain performance. To kick off the festival: - Prof. Owen sat down with Roger Highfield, the Science and Industry Museum's Scientific Director, to discuss the study’s findings and their significance for brain health. - Adrian Owen, Roger Highfield, and 2x Oscar-winner Paul Franklin delved into how the brain and mind are portrayed in film and media.

Excited to have Sarah Lenz Lock, JD from AARP and Neil Gokal MD, FAAFP from Optum Health join our very own Erin Smith for a round table discussion on making dementia assessment and care more equitable. Join us!

🌍🧠 Following World Mental Health Day, we'd like to highlight the fascinating connection between physical activity and cognition being explored by the Brain and Body Study for the Manchester Science Festival. Regular exercise has been shown to enhance brain function, improve mental health, and even reduce the risk of cognitive decline as we age and the researchers at Western University are looking to further understand these links.

💚 Today we celebrate World Mental Health Day with the World Health Organization. It's a time to raise awareness about mental health issues and promote well-being globally. One of the key messages this year is "Impact on individuals" to highlight the profound impact mental health issues can have on an individual's, and their carers', daily lives. We recognize the critical link between mental health and cognitive function and when healthcare providers are empowered with the tools to understand cognitive health, we drive improved outcomes for all.

We're proud to work with Olympian Jen Kish and BrainsCAN at Western University in advancing research on the long-term impacts of sports-related head injuries. Deeper insights into how concussions and similar injuries affect brain health over time is critical; by understanding these effects better, all those involved can make more informed decisions about care, recovery, and long-term support needs. #BrainHealth #ConcussionResearch #SportsMedicine
