BrainLeap is a software company that trains attention through gaze-driven video games. Based on 30 years of academic research, our suite of games improves attention skills and reduces distractibility, which support better academic performance and executive function.

Control of eye movements and attention are closely tied. Research has shown that where you look, and are planning to look, is where you place your attention. BrainLeap’s attention training games leverage this connection with games designed to improve different aspects of attention and by using an eye tracker rather than a mouse or keyboard to play the games.

In a research study at UC San Diego, the attention training games on average improved focus by 30%, increased inhibitory control (ability to stay on task even with distractions) by 55%, and improved fast attention shifts by 68%. These results were measured by independent attention assessments and have been published in the peer-reviewed journal Developmental Neurobiology.
