GeniusPulse™ Score. Now in the Sens.ai app.
Your brain function, in one number.
One number for your overall brain function, tracked from your first assessment and benchmarked against people your age. Progress you can follow, not just feel.
If you have Sens.ai, this is available to you now. Every assessment you have already taken has been scored and is ready. And if you have had a unit but stopped practicing as much, or you have been on the fence about getting one, this is the perfect time to jump in.
What is a GeniusPulse™ Score?
Your GeniusPulse Score is one number for your overall brain function, measured while your brain performs a standardized task. It captures both the pre-conscious activity in your brain's electrical signals, timed to the millisecond, and your conscious performance on that task.
Billions of calculations turn your assessment into thousands of markers of brain function. Hundreds of them feed your score, each weighted by how much it tells us about how your brain is working.
Higher is better. Your score is always compared with your baseline from your first assessment, and benchmarked against your age group. The highest possible GeniusPulse Score is 200.
The assessment itself has not changed. What is new is how the data it produces is modeled, and that modeling is what yields the Score.
Not an age
The Score is a measure of brain function. Nothing in the personal membership reports an age of any kind.
Not a diagnosis
It is not a clinical result and does not indicate the presence or absence of any condition.
Not a percentage
Higher is better. The Score is read against your own first assessment and against people your age.
Not a report
The four metrics carry plain-English explanations and the assessment drives a recommended Mission, but you do not receive a report.
Not a substitute for a clinic assessment
Why a Score, and why now
We wanted a simpler way for members to tell whether it was working, and to stay motivated to continue.
Benchmarking your brain function against people your age has been the plan for a long time. What it needed was enough assessments across the community to make the comparison meaningful, and the models to read them. Advances in data processing, data modeling and infrastructure now turn every assessment into one number that answers three questions: is this working, am I doing well for my age, and is it worth continuing. The same work simplified what the assessment reports: where each measure once showed several readings, it now shows one.

Fifteen minutes, one standardized task.
A GeniusPulse assessment is a 15-minute functional test you take at home, with the controller in your hand. While you respond to arrows on its screen, the headset records your brain's electrical signals and your responses, timed to the millisecond.
The task is an event-related potential (ERP) task. It measures how your brain reacts to specific, precisely timed events, before and after you are aware of reacting. That is what lets the timing be read so finely, and it is the kind of measurement that used to need a lab.
You take one at the start of a Mission and one at the end. The assessment that ends a Mission is the same one that starts your next. It gives you a new Score, and it is what your next Mission recommendation is built from. Your first assessment happens when you set up your headset.
What you see after an assessment.
- Your Score. One number for your overall brain function. Higher is better. You also see where you stand among people your age.
- Your movement. From your second assessment on, how far you have moved since your baseline, in points. Green means better, orange means worse. Two colors, everywhere a comparison is shown.
- Your trajectory. Your recent assessments plotted as one line, with your baseline and your age group's average marked on the same chart.
- Your four metrics. Processing Speed, Reaction Time, Response Consistency and Overall Accuracy, each in real units, each compared with your baseline and with people your age.
Compared with where you started.
Your first assessment sets your baseline, and it never moves. From your second one on, every number shows how far you have come since.

Compared with people your age.
How you compare to an average person your age. Center line is average, right is better.

Four metrics, in real units.
Alongside your Score, four measures of brain function are shown in milliseconds and percentages, each compared with your baseline and with people your age.
Processing Speed
Your overall speed of thinking. Your brain is answering the question "What should I do about it?". How quickly you make sense of what is in front of you and decide what to do.
Reaction Time
Measures how quickly you respond by physically pressing the button. This is not only for athletes, it's the gap you notice between thinking and doing.
Response Consistency
Measures how steady your response speed stays from moment to moment. A higher percentage means a more even, predictable rhythm. This is what focus looks like from the outside. A steady rhythm across the whole task means your attention held.
Overall Accuracy
Measures how often you respond correctly. This reflects the overall reliability of your cognitive processing chain.
If you have assessed before, these four replace the measures you used to see, and your past assessments have been rescored to them. Response Consistency is the measure of attention.
Your history, already scored.
Every assessment you have taken with Sens.ai now carries a GeniusPulse Score and the four metrics. You do not need to take a new one to see it.
Sign in, and your history reads as one line, from your first assessment to your latest. One number for your overall brain function, compared with where you started and with people your age.
Asked, answered.
What is my GeniusPulse Score?
One number for your overall brain function, compared with where you started and with people your age. It is measured while your brain performs a standardized task, and it captures both the electrical activity in your brain, timed to the millisecond, and your performance on that task. Higher is better, out of 200.
Is my Score a brain age?
No. Your Score measures brain function on a standardized task. It is not an age of any kind, and nothing in the personal membership reports one.
Why is it called GeniusPulse?
Genius, because the measurement is about how well your brain is working. Pulse, because it is read from your brain's electrical signal. It is a measure of function, not a medical term.
Do I need to take a new assessment to see my Score?
No. Every assessment you have already taken has been scored. Sign in to the app and your history is there, from your first assessment onward.
When can I take an assessment?
At the start of a Mission and at the end. The assessment that ends a Mission gives you a new Score, and it is what your next Mission recommendation is built from. It is also the one that starts your next Mission, so beginning a new Mission does not mean taking a second assessment.
My membership has expired. Can I still see my scores?
Your past assessments have been scored. Seeing them needs an active membership. Sign in to the app and it will show you your options.
How is GeniusPulse™ different from BrainYears™?
Both are true readings of the same brain, taken with different instruments. GeniusPulse measures brain function on one standardized task and shows you two things: how far you have moved from your own first assessment, and where you sit among people your age. A BrainYears report returns something GeniusPulse never does, which is a functional brain age. So you can be improving steadily at home and still sit below average for your age in clinic. Those are not in conflict. Moving up your own curve and reaching the middle of your age group are two different milestones.
