A bunch of UK-based developers have come up with an app which monitors your mood and brain power to figure out when your mind works best.
Called moo-Q the app records your memory ability and processing speed to determine whether your brain works better in the day or night, or when you’re happy or sad.
Dr Sophie von Stumm, from Goldsmiths, University of London, said: “If you notice, your brain test scores are highest early in the day, you might be well advised to undertake important tasks that require a bit more brainpower first thing in the morning."
Funded by the British Academy and supported by University of London’s Hungry Mind Lab, the app sends alerts to monitor your brain’s capacity and trains it to be stronger.
After completing five assessments, the app produces a colour-coded graph which shows your mood and brain power across various times of the day.
The team of psychologists behind the app will pool the data over time to figure out how mood affects the brain and cognitive ability.
