Be a Participant


For Everyone

Have you ever wondered whether Brain Training really works? Be a part of a NIH funded nationwide online study aimed at collecting data from 30,000 people to understand how different people respond to different types of memory training. Each session lasts 20-30 minutes. Participants are asked to complete two sessions a day and at least 10 sessions a week. Prizes can be won at weekly giveaways that will be hosted by the Brain Game Center. Participants have a chance to win an iPad in a monthly giveaway. 

It only takes a few minutes to sign up and find out if you are eligible!


For UCI Students

If you are a UCI undergraduate student, consider signing up for the Working Memory & Plasticity Lab Participant Interest and Availability Form. The studies involve playing video games on an iPad, Android device, or computer and are designed to test and/or improve various cognitive and perceptual abilities.

Some of our studies may last only one day or others up to six weeks and can be completely done from the comfort of your own home. All studies provide monetary incentives with greater compensation for longer studies up to $80.

If you are interested in participating in a study, please complete the short survey linked below. We will contact you in a follow-up email with specific study details!


For Older Adults

The Working Memory and Plasticity Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine, under the direction of neuroscientist Dr. Susanne Jaeggi, conducts studies with older adults on memory training and successful aging!
