Cognitive Performance Q & A

What is cognitive performance?

Cognitive performance is an umbrella term for several noninvasive procedures that screen for and treat cognitive decline. 

Cognitive decline is a common neurological issue characterized by forgetfulness, trouble following conversations, difficulty completing tasks, and missing appointments. 

Without treatment, cognitive decline can significantly affect your decision-making skills and quality of life. Cognitive performance addresses the underlying issue while improving your neurological capabilities.

What does cognitive performance involve?

At Braincare Performance Center - Cardiff, the team uses a three-step approach to improve cognitive performance. The three steps include:

Step 1: Electroencephalogram (EEG) brainwave recording

During an EEG brainwave recording, you sit in a quiet, dark room for 10 minutes with electrodes attached to your scalp. The electrodes document your brain’s electrical activity, providing a snapshot of your brain’s network behavior. This lets the team identify the state in which your brain operates most efficiently. 

Step 2: Personalized brain performance report

At the end of the EEG, your Braincare Performance Center - Cardiff provider uploads your personalized neurological data into a software program. 

The program completes an algorithm-based analysis and identifies specific factors that might interfere with your brain’s function. Afterward, an EEG analyst will explain these results to you.

Step 3: Personalized neuromodulation

After analyzing the test results, your Braincare Performance Center - Cardiff provider develops a personalized treatment plan. The treatment plan uses state-of-the-art tools like magnetic e-resonance therapy (MeRT) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (eTMS) to stimulate your neurons and increase efficient brain wave activity.

When combined, these treatments improve cognitive (brain) function and enhance your communication skills. 

Can noninvasive treatments improve my cognitive performance?

Yes. The noninvasive treatments used by Braincare Performance Center - Cardiff optimize cognitive performance. They increase communication between neurons and promote efficient and healthy brain wave activity.

Many people experience a significant improvement in their cognitive symptoms after a single treatment. However, the Braincare Performance Center - Cardiff team typically recommends a series of cognitive performance treatments over several weeks. 

Cognitive performance is a cumulative treatment, so the results take several sessions to add up. For optimal results, follow your provider’s instructions and attend each of your scheduled appointments.
