No notability, no news mentions, etc. refs are for general research studies and not about the product. is an advertisement. CerealKillerYum (talk) 13:20, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Very non-notable promotional article that appears to be its only purpose. Refs are also incredibly confusing to follow. BenLinus1214 (talk) 19:21, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete To me it looks ~~like it might be a scam~~ rather dubious. I went to the BrainHQ website and looked at the abstracts of some of the "70 published studies" by "an international team of more than 100 top neuroscientists". For example, the abstract of one study on falling by seniors said "interventions to improve cognition and health might also be effective." BrainHQ's description of this study was "Study Description: This study found that poor BrainHQ performance is correlated with fall risk, and therefore BrainHQ is recommended to improve fall risk in older adults." Despite the fact that BrainHQ wasn't mentioned in the abstract. Or any of the other abstracts. The paper itself is behind a paywall so I can't tell for sure, but I saw no evidence that any of these studies had anything to do with BrainHQ.
