I've been tracking my sleep, steps, HRV, and so much more for years. In the last two decades, the world of wearables moved quickly from clip-on step counters to invisible sensors in sleek devices that give us unprecedented insights into our physical states.
What I've been missing from the impressive suite of metrics that physiological wearables offer (HRV, RHR, SpO2, skin temperature, and so many more) is how all of this relates to my cognitive state. I can understand when I've physically exhausted myself, when I'm ready to take on a tough workout, and when my body is telling me something is wrong.
But I'm still missing the output from the most important organ in my body: my brain.
The Era of Brain Health Tracking Has Arrived
Now, finally, the era of quantifying your mental state is here. Neurable's Mobile App is expanding to include brain health metrics that give you actual insight into your cognitive wellness:
Wondering about your brain's readiness?
- Mental Recovery Score - Get your score in just 2 minutes
- Cognitive Speed - See how your performance changes throughout the day
- Cognitive Strain - Know when to push and when to rest
- Brain Age - Track your cognitive health over time
- Anxiety Resilience - Measure your capacity to manage stress
All the metrics you need to make the most informed decisions about where to put your cognitive resources are finally available.
Mental Recovery Score: Your Brain's Readiness Check
While physical readiness can help inform how much to push yourself during a workout, it doesn't necessarily translate to the mental capacity you have to take on challenges throughout the day. Neurable's Mental Recovery Score does just that.
How It Works
From a quick two-minute Cognitive Snapshot (a process involving opening and closing your eyes) in the Neurable Mobile App, you'll get your Mental Recovery: a precise, objective measure of how well-rested your brain is from the previous night's sleep.
Think of It as Your Cognitive "Safety Net"
On high-recovery days:
- Go "all in" on challenging work
- Have difficult conversations
- Tackle optional complex projects
- Feel confident in your brain's ability to perform
On low-recovery days:
- Be kind to yourself
- Save high-effort tasks for tomorrow
- Take a 10-minute walk between meetings
- Focus on essential tasks only
Now, realistically, most of us can't just tear up our to-do list, even on a low-recovery day. Rather, this metric is built to give you agency over the challenges you do face.
Cognitive Strain: Your Burnout Early Warning System
As an overachiever, monitoring my Cognitive Strain throughout the day helps me understand when I'm doing too much, and when I'm burnt out.
An accumulation of all the Cognitive Load I've accrued so far today, I think of my Cognitive Strain as both motivation and my burnout indicator.
How I Use It Daily
I track to see how much Cognitive Strain I've accumulated after each task I do while recording Sessions in Neurable's Mobile App. And frankly, it feels great to see my Strain increase after a cognitively demanding task—I know my brain is working hard!
It's also my accountability buddy, giving me insight into when I'm approaching burnout or experiencing the longer-term effects of burnout.
My Personal Protocol
I try to end my days with a Meditation or other restorative activity to transition my brain from work mode to home mode. On days when my 10-minute Meditation accrues more than a couple of Strain points in the Neurable App, I know I've been overexerting my brain for too long, probably for more than just the last day or two.
This is my sign that I need to prioritize:
- Restorative activities
- Mindfulness practices
- Other activities that calm my mind (during and after work!)
Cognitive Speed: Your Mental Performance Lab
I've found a lot of enjoyment experimenting with my Cognitive Speed! Not only can I see how my Cognitive Speed changes across different types of Sessions, but I can see how different habits and protocols influence my performance.
What Influences Cognitive Speed
You'll see your speed shift throughout the day, influenced by everything from:
- Your last meal
- Your caffeine intake
- Your post-meditation calm
- Sleep quality
- Stress levels
It's a powerful tool for discovery, helping you learn exactly what habits and activities get your brain working at its most optimal level.
Anxiety Resilience: Your Stress Management Metric
Another metric in the Neurable App I've been using is my Anxiety Resilience. Updated after every Cognitive Snapshot, it's my validation tool that I use to see my brain's capacity to manage stress.
It's interesting to compare to the population average, and even more interesting to see how different situations push me above or below my own personal average.
Brain Age: Your Long-Term Cognitive Wellness Check
Finally, I'm able to see my metrics change over time in the Activity Tab, which gives me a true pulse on my long-term cognitive wellness. I check my Brain Age every Sunday to make sure I'm trending in the right direction (that is, maintaining or decreasing).
My Weekly Brain Age Reflection
If my Brain Age changes significantly, I'm immediately prompted to reflect on my habits throughout the week:
Questions I ask myself:
- Did I doom scroll right before bed every day this week?
- Was I consistent in my fitness routine each day?
- Did a stressful event at the beginning of the week throw me off balance?
My Brain Age helps me plan out how kind I need to be to my brain the following week to set myself up for success.
The Complete Picture: Brain + Body Data
The best part is, the Neurable system works in tandem with your existing physiological wearables to truly quantify your life.
Now you can:
- Compare your cognitive restoration to your physical recovery
- Discover what works best for both your body and brain
- Make data-driven decisions about your wellness routine
- Track the relationship between physical and mental health
Update your Neurable App today and, for the first time, see what your brain is truly telling you.

2 Distraction Stroop Tasks experiment: The Stroop Effect (also known as cognitive interference) is a psychological phenomenon describing the difficulty people have naming a color when it's used to spell the name of a different color. During each trial of this experiment, we flashed the words “Red” or “Yellow” on a screen. Participants were asked to respond to the color of the words and ignore their meaning by pressing four keys on the keyboard –– “D”, “F”, “J”, and “K,” -- which were mapped to “Red,” “Green,” “Blue,” and “Yellow” colors, respectively. Trials in the Stroop task were categorized into congruent, when the text content matched the text color (e.g. Red), and incongruent, when the text content did not match the text color (e.g., Red). The incongruent case was counter-intuitive and more difficult. We expected to see lower accuracy, higher response times, and a drop in Alpha band power in incongruent trials. To mimic the chaotic distraction environment of in-person office life, we added an additional layer of complexity by floating the words on different visual backgrounds (a calm river, a roller coaster, a calm beach, and a busy marketplace). Both the behavioral and neural data we collected showed consistently different results in incongruent tasks, such as longer reaction times and lower Alpha waves, particularly when the words appeared on top of the marketplace background, the most distracting scene.
Interruption by Notification: It’s widely known that push notifications decrease focus level. In our three Interruption by Notification experiments, participants performed the Stroop Tasks, above, with and without push notifications, which consisted of a sound played at random time followed by a prompt to complete an activity. Our behavioral analysis and focus metrics showed that, on average, participants presented slower reaction times and were less accurate during blocks of time with distractions compared to those without them.
