ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

MindModeling@Home

Mindmodeling@home is like playing a fun game or puzzle on your computer that helps scientists better understand how our brains work.

You know how you can solve puzzles and games in different ways, like guessing, using logic, or trial and error? Scientists want to know how people do all these things in their heads.

So, they made this game to learn more about how our brains work. When you play, your computer solves different puzzles that show your brain's strengths and weaknesses in different areas like memory, language, and problem-solving.

All the information you give is sent to the scientists who use it to learn more about how the brain works. This helps scientists create better models of how our brains work and how they can help people who have trouble with things like remembering things, speaking or even thinking.

So, by playing Mindmodeling@home, you are helping scientists learn more about how brains work and how to make them better in the future!
