Many surprising sources of significant impact on brain function.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7366948/</ref> There is a philosophical argument to be made that those who think more are actually more alive. Unfortunately, constant testing can easily be the most time consuming part of a health tracking routine. Some of the tools listed bellow mitigate this problem. |

Similar to, and more fun then the validated test above but often useless. May need to compare other people's scores on exact same puzzle. School tests could possibly work the same way if the serial tests are given to enough people and a difficult of each question can be assessed. | Similar to, and more fun then the validated test above but often useless.
