An assessment
What it is
Training the brain’s timing and sequencing
Interactive Metronome is a computerized training system that uses auditory and visual cues to engage the brain’s timing and sequencing abilities. Performing specific tasks in sync with a metronome strengthens the neurological connections that support attention, movement and overall cognitive function.

- Timing and rhythm: improving the brain’s ability to process and respond to time-based tasks

- Goal-oriented exercises tailored to individual cognitive and motor challenges
What happens in sessions
