Dr. Henry Mahncke, Ph.D.

Henry Mahncke, Ph.D. got his doctorate in neuroscience in the lab at UCSF that discovered the brain remains plastic – capable of chemical, physical and functional change – throughout life. After a stint consulting at McKinsey & Co,. he was recruited to lead the global team commercializing plasticity-based training at Posit Science, which makes BrainHQ. BrainHQ is the most scientifically validated brain training app on the market and has shown benefits in more than peer-reviewed 300 studies. Such benefits include gains in cognition (attention, speed, memory, decision-making), in quality of life (depressive symptoms, confidence and control, health-related quality of life) and in real-world activities (health outcomes, balance, driving, workplace activities). BrainHQ is used by leading health and Medicare Advantage plans, by pre-eminent medical centers, clinics, and communities, and by elite athletes, the military, and other organizations focused on peak performance.
