Presenter
Dr. Ellen Clarke, PhD

Dr. Ellen Clarke, with her PhD in Human Factors from George Mason University, founded Brain Evolved to translate her groundbreaking research into practical cognitive enhancement tools. Her work, initially focused on the effectiveness of cognitive training games, has been pivotal in shaping Brain Charge.

Brain Evolved was formed as a result of Dr. Clarke’s experience with her grandmother, Olive. Olive played a pivotal role in Dr. Clarke’s childhood. Unfortunately, Olive was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease when Dr. Clarke was in her teens. This diagnosis came at a critical point in Dr. Clarke’s education and inspired her to focus her efforts on a career that would help those with similar challenges. One PhD and years of industry experience later, Dr. Clarke started Brain Evolved in pursuit of cognitive enhancement.
