The Healthy Brain Project

Want to be part of a vital brain research team?

The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health is seeking volunteers for the Healthy Brain Project.

We need online assistance of 5,000 40-65 year olds, in an effort to help delay brain diseases and conditions.

The research is steered by a group of neuroscientists to:

Understand optimal brain health and ageing,
Investigate why some people develop brain diseases and why others don't
Develop biomarkers and pharmacological strategies for early detection of dementia and Alzheimer's risk, before symptoms appear.

The voluntary requirements are around 2-3 hours, and require involvement once a year for five consecutive years.

The steps are as follows:

Your reward for participation is

Safeguarding the future for yourself and your loved ones;

A better understanding of your brain health and awareness that some of the world's best brain scientists are tracking your progress, and can alert you to changes and preventative measureswhere possible; and

Being part of a research study and community that could potentially solve mysteries of the brain and feeling good about contributing to the future of science.
