The Future-Proof Brain course is designed for adults of all ages. Whether you're in your 20s and looking to optimize performance or in your 60s and focused on preservation, the strategies are adaptable to your specific needs and goals.

Our personalization algorithm takes a revolutionary approach. Unlike typical brain training programs or commercial brain games, this program allows you to harness the power of self-experimentation at a level that was previously inaccessible outside of research labs. You won't have to take anyone's word for whether it works: you will be able to judge your results objectively. FPB will provide you with a comprehensive system for cognitive enhancement, evidence-based interventions, and highly targeted lifestyle and habit changes. All assessments and approaches are based on rigorous neuroscience research and are designed to take less than half an hour a day - in some cases, just a few minutes. We focus on strategies that transfer to real-world performance improvements, not just better scores on games. 

"Those interested in adding rigor to their self-improvement journeys have no better place to turn than Smarter Tomorrow."
