Brilliance Buddy vs Imaging Stress Task

The Brilliance Buddy app provides exclusive access to Native Brilliance community resources, assessments, and personalized insights for understanding your cognitive profile.

Easily test the impact of time pressure and performance-related stress using adaptive math questions. The task consists of a practice phase, followed by a control phase and an experimental stress phase. After completion, results are displayed as binary values (1 = correct response, 0 = incorrect response), allowing for straightforward export and analysis in Excel or other statistical software. This app is inspired by the Montreal Imaging Stress Task (MIST) protocol as described in: Dedovic, K., Renwick, R., Mahani, N. K., Engert, V., Lupien, S. J., & Pruessner, J. C. (2005).
