Brain Gauge at Clear Mind Idaho

What Is Brain Gauge?

Brain Gauge is a portable cognitive assessment tool that measures brain health by testing sensory perception in the fingertips. During testing, the device delivers small vibrations to the fingers while the user responds to what they feel through an app. The system then analyzes those responses using neuroscience-based methods. Cortical Metrics has a 90 second quick check and a comprehensive assessment can be completed in less than 15 minutes. Learn more at https://www.corticalmetrics.com/howitworks

What Does Brain Gauge Measure?

According to Cortical Metrics, Brain Gauge measures 8 key components of brain health:

• Speed

• Focus

• Fatigue

• Accuracy

• Sequencing

• Timing Perception

• Plasticity

• Connectivity

It also provides a broader summary score called a corticalmetric.

How We Use Brain Gauge at Clear Mind Idaho

At Clear Mind Idaho, we use Brain Gauge in two important ways:

Objective Brain Function Assessment

Brain Gauge helps us gather measurable information about how a client’s brain is performing. This gives us a more objective view of areas like focus, fatigue, processing, and sensory timing.

Tracking Progress Over Time

Because Brain Gauge can monitor changes in scores over time, it helps us see how brain function may shift as clients move through care. Cortical Metrics specifically notes that Brain Gauge can be used to watch scores change over time and observe how things like supplements, diet, and lifestyle affect brain performance.

Supporting Brain Training and Improvement

In our clinic, Brain Gauge is not only helpful for assessment, but also as a tool that supports clients in becoming more aware of how their brain is functioning and improving over time.

Why Brain Gauge Matters

Sometimes people know they do not feel like themselves, but it can be hard to explain exactly what is happening. Brain Gauge is designed to detect subtle differences in cognitive function, and Cortical Metrics says it can identify changes that may not always be obvious subjectively.

That makes it especially valuable for clients who want:

• A clearer picture of brain performance

• A baseline to compare against

• A way to track progress more objectively

• Additional insight alongside other therapies

What to Expect

Brain Gauge testing is quick and simple. During the test, the device lightly stimulates the fingertips in different ways, and you respond through the app based on what you feel. The process is non-invasive and typically takes less than 15 minutes for a comprehensive assessment and just a brief 90 seconds to track your progress.

How It Fits Into Our Approach

Brain Gauge is one part of the larger Clear Mind Idaho approach.

• Brain Gauge helps assess and track objective brain function

• IASIS Neurofeedback supports brain regulation

• Photobiomodulation supports cellular energy

• Autonomic Balancing supports the nervous system

• Targeted supplements support foundational brain and body health

Together, these services help us support both measurement and meaningful progress.

Brain Training with Brain Gauge

Brain Gauge is not only a powerful assessment tool—it also provides targeted brain training.

Using guided exercises, we can focus on specific areas of brain function such as:

• Processing speed
• Focus
• Timing and sensory integration
• Cognitive endurance

These exercises work similarly to a gym for the brain, helping strengthen weaker areas and improve overall performance over time.

When combined with our in-office services, this creates a more complete and effective approach to brain health.

At-Home Brain Training

Continue Your Progress at Home

At Clear Mind Idaho, we offer the option to rent a Brain Gauge device for at-home use, allowing you to continue supporting your brain between visits.

This gives you the opportunity to stay consistent, track progress more frequently, and stay engaged in your care from the comfort of your home.

Why Use Brain Gauge at Home?

Using Brain Gauge at home allows you to:

• Track changes in brain function more frequently
• Stay consistent between in-office sessions
• Build awareness of how your brain responds to daily life
• Reinforce progress made during care
• Take a more active role in your brain health

How It Works

We will guide you on how to use the device and integrate it into your routine.

At-home use is simple and typically takes just a few minutes per session. Your results can be reviewed alongside your in-office care to help support continued progress.

A More Complete Approach

When combined with your in-office services—such as neurofeedback, photobiomodulation, and autonomic balancing—at-home Brain Gauge use helps create a more consistent and comprehensive approach to brain health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Brain Gauge testing feel like?

Brain Gauge testing is quick, simple, and non-invasive. Small vibrations are applied to the fingertips, and you respond based on what you feel.

Most clients find the process easy and comfortable, and the entire assessment typically takes less than 15 minutes for the comprehensive assessment and just a brief 90 seconds to track your progress.

What makes Brain Gauge different from other assessments?

Brain Gauge provides objective, measurable data about brain function, rather than relying only on subjective symptoms.

It allows us to assess areas like focus, fatigue, processing speed, and sensory timing, while also tracking changes over time. This gives both the provider and client a clearer picture of progress.

Why do you use Brain Gauge in your clinic?

At Clear Mind Idaho, we use Brain Gauge to both assess and track brain function over time.

It helps us establish a baseline, monitor progress, and support overall improvements as clients move through care. When combined with neurofeedback and other services, it allows for a more complete and informed approach to brain health.
