What happens when you register?
The first step, before taking the test is to ‘register’.
- We need your email to send you your results, and to remind you annually to retake the test, which is a condition of use of the Cognitive Function Test because your progress becomes part of the hundreds of thousands of people taking the test to enable us to research what really helps prevent dementia.
- You select a password, which can be your name or email, to give you access to your results as they change over time.
- Your data is strictly confidential to you and ‘anonymised’ for our research purposes
- When you register it emails you to ‘Thank you for subscribing to Food for the Brain. You will now receive our newsletters, invitations to webinars and other events and breakthrough research in areas of your interest.’
