BriteAge Scientific Advisory Board

To support our commitment to providing superior quality information and products focused on complete Brain health and function, BriteAge has gathered the leading minds in Neuroscience, Cognitive Performance, and Total Brain Health.

Joshua Reynolds

Mr. Reynolds has pioneered developments in psycho-physiology and biofeedback, stress management, neuro-cognitive assessment and enhancement, and brain function. Mr. Reynolds' neuro-cognitive "brain-speed" tests and technology are used in medical schools such as Stanford University, hospitals, clinics, and physicians' offices for the assessment and management of cognitive decline.

In early 1995, Mr. Reynolds launched Cognitive Diagnostics, Inc., and Brain.com to research, develop and commercialize the 50-year old science of mental reaction time tests to more accurately assess IQ, memory, attention and cognition. Teaming up with leading neuro and cognitive scientists from UC Irvine Medical School, UC Berkeley, and Stanford Medical School, Mr. Reynolds developed and clinically validated a battery of computerized brain speed tests to detect the early stage of (premature) memory decline, track subtle changes in cognitive performance (occurring as a result of supplementation with memory enhancing nutriceuticals and/or drugs), and enhance cognitive performance brain speed training exercises. Mr. Reynolds has been awarded several patents for his inventions.
