What cognitive science says about memory, attention, reaction time and how training changes the brain.
Why naming the ink colour of a mismatched colour word is so hard, what the delay measures, and what nearly a century of Stroop research actually shows.
Short term memory holds. Working memory holds and manipulates. Why the distinction matters, what the real capacity limit is, and what training can and cannot change.
Typical reaction times by age, simple vs choice vs recognition reaction time, what slows you down, and how much training can realistically improve it.
Arithmetic Blitz is a timed equation game where speed matters as much as accuracy. These mental math techniques, rounding, complement addition, and.
Memory Match trains short-term visual memory, but the technique that actually works isn't visual. It's spatial.
Mental Rotation is one of the most studied spatial reasoning tasks in cognitive science. It's also one of the most trainable.
Simon Says tests sequential working memory, the ability to hold and replay an ordered list.
Speed Sort is a rapid card-sorting game, swipe left or right before the timer expires. The science of categorization shows that speed comes from.
The Stroop effect has been studied since 1935. MyRin's Stroop Challenge uses it to train inhibitory control, the cognitive skill that predicts academic and.
Tower of Hanoi is one of the most studied puzzles in cognitive science. It's also one of the most misunderstood.
Sustained attention is in decline across populations - and it's not just smartphones. Here's how deliberate logic puzzle practice rebuilds the attention
Six brain training apps for iPhone compared on price, content and evidence, with what each is genuinely good for and the claims none of them can support.
Is playing a logic puzzle game like MyRin before bed good for cognitive health or bad for sleep? The research is more nuanced than the standard
Logic puzzles and memory games are both called "brain training." They train very different things.
The relationship between cognitive training and dementia prevention is complex and often misrepresented.
What the neuroscience actually says about brain training for adults over 50 - and how MyRin's logic puzzles fit into a realistic cognitive health strategy.
Spatial reasoning is one of the strongest predictors of STEM performance and problem-solving ability.
MyRin and Lumosity both promise cognitive benefits. We compare the two apps on game design, scientific backing, pricing, and what they are actually good
Can a logic puzzle game genuinely reduce stress? We look at what the research says about puzzle games, flow states, and the specific mechanisms that make
Working memory is one of the strongest predictors of academic and professional performance. Here's exactly how MyRin engages and develops it
Crosswords feel cognitively demanding. But research suggests they're training a narrower skill than most people assume.
Pattern recognition is the cognitive ability that underlies everything from mathematics to social intuition.
Cognitive training apps promise sharper minds. But does the research back it up? We look at the neuroscience and explain what MyRin is - and isn't
