Know Your Brain Age vs Leyar

This Know Your Brain Age™ test is powered by CNS Vital Signs. A world leader in both clinic and research based computerized neurocognitive testing. The cognitive tests in this app are utilized by thousands of healthcare professionals to evaluate and manage patients all over the world. If you download the Know Your Brain Age™ app and test yourself, remember you need to put forth your best effort. There is no additional cost to take the test again (and again) if you feel your score does not correctly reflect your brain age. A historical report of all your scores will be available on the app. Also note the youngest age we calculate is "Under 40". This does not mean if you are under 40 you should not take the test. To the contrary you should absolutely take the test to make sure you score "Under 40". This evaluation will take about 15 minutes and by analyzing your test results we can calculate a Know Your Brain Age™ test score in a single Brain Age number. Plan taking the test on your device in a quiet place with no interruptions for at least 20 minutes. Put forth your best effort. Generally speaking, if your brain age is greater than your actual age, you may want to see your healthcare provider and tell them that you have scored poorly on a cognitive test for someone of your age. If your test score is your age or younger, you are within the age appropriate normal range or perhaps better. However, even if you scored well, should you feel you are experiencing poor memory or other neurological issues, you should consider seeing your healthcare provider to discuss. Your provider can download a comprehensive clinical version of this application and retest you if your provider feels your score reflects the need for more thorough testing. For example, if you are 25 years old and score a Brain Age of 70, that score is above your chronological age and thus is potentially an abnormally poor score for someone 25 years old. Alternatively, if you are 70 years old and score a Brain Age of 40, that score is less than your chronological age and an excellent score for someone 70 years old. With such a brief set of tests, the app can calculate brain ages as low as under 40 years old and as high as 90. So the score as viewed on your report will fall somewhere between 40 and 90 years of age. To get a more precise score of your Brain Age requires much more comprehensive testing than what is practical here.

Leyar is an honest gateway to self-discovery. Notice feelings, body sensations, and track your emotions to build awareness of how you feel — all with complete privacy. This is a tool to help you discover. Writing in your journal by is therapeutic because it slows down the thought process to contemplate, and not just “think” about your feelings but actually *feel* your feelings. If you really start to notice all the micro sensations in your body and can put specific words to it rather than the basic 6, then you don’t need the app any more. The purpose isn’t to keep people hooked on using the app. There are only two ways to get to that deeper level. It’s the journey, not a goal. No app or technology is going to get one there. Using this tool is a start. FEELING - SENSATION - EMOTION TRACKING Choose from basic feelings to deeply felt emotions and body sensations — then refine with intensity levels and specific emotion words drawn from the Willcox Feeling Wheel, the body keeps the score, and buddhist philosophy. Log up to three check-ins per day and watch your emotional vocabulary grow over time. VOICE JOURNALING Record voice notes to capture emotional context in the moment. Speech-to-text transcription happens entirely on your device — no audio is ever sent to a server. Audio files auto-delete after 7 days; transcriptions are kept for your journal. CALENDAR & HISTORY See your emotional landscape at a glance with a color-coded monthly calendar. Tap any day to revisit what you felt, and track your logging streak to build a consistent awareness habit. PATTERN ANALYSIS Discover which emotions come up most, how your feelings shift by time of day and day of week, and how your patterns evolve over weeks and months. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your emotion entries, voice notes, and transcriptions are stored only on your device using Apple's Core Data. We collect minimal anonymous analytics (never linked to your identity) to improve the app — nothing more. No third-party ad or tracking SDKs. BUILT BY A NON-PROFIT Leyar is an offering of Mind Lumen, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. There is no paywall, no subscription, and no ads. The app is free because we believe emotional awareness should be accessible to everyone.
