Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

How does bilateral brain training work?

Bilateral training uses coordinated left-right movements to strengthen the connection between your brain hemispheres (Corpus Callosum). This improves coordination, reaction time, and cognitive flexibility.

How long should I train daily?

We recommend 5-10 minutes daily. Consistency is more important than duration. Even short, regular training sessions show measurable improvements.

When will I see results?

Many users report improved focus after 1-2 weeks. Significant improvements in memory and coordination typically appear after 4-6 weeks of regular training.

Is SynapseGym suitable for all age groups?

Yes! From students to seniors - our adaptive training plans adjust to your individual level. Whether 15 or 75, you can benefit from brain training.

Can I use SynapseGym offline?

Most exercises work offline once downloaded. Only features like leaderboards and social functions require an internet connection.

What is the difference between Free and Premium?

Free includes many basic exercises and core features. Premium unlocks all 100+ exercises, adaptive training plans, extended meditations, and an ad-free experience.

Is there a long-term commitment?

No! You can cancel your premium subscription at any time. The free version is always available without obligation.

Is brain training scientifically proven?
