Most of us don't notice when our senses change.

Half the time, we miss it.

That matters. Every memory you have came in through your five senses.

They're the first thing that tells you whether you're headed toward a future with great brain health, or whether a few simple changes could help. The good news: you can improve your sensory health.

But only if you catch it early.

Before class, please get the app and set up your account On your phone, tap here to get the SuperSenses app. It takes about a minute. When it asks for a code, enter 8515. Stuck? Bring your phone and we'll set it up together in class.

Bring your phone, and your glasses if you wear them for reading or distance.

We'll test your touch and smell together in class. Then you'll test your vision, hearing and taste on your own, with headphones for the hearing test.
