To Infinity and Beyond! Biltmore’s Mindprint Test Used by NASA

June 16, 2019 By Brian Caskey

Identical twin astronauts, Mark and Scott Kelly, agreed to be studied for two years. NASA tracked changes to their genes, cognitive skills and physical and mental health to understand the impact of long duration space flight on the human body and brain. Mark stayed on Earth throughout. Scott spent a full year at the International Space Station. NASA monitored their functions before, during, and after Scott’s flight.

Mindprint’s Revolutionary Cognitive Assessment Tests Are Here!

December 2, 2018 By Brian Caskey

Biltmore Tutoring is pleased to announce a new partnership with Mindprint, and will offer their groundbreaking cognitive test which was developed by the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Medicine and NIH (and a 2018 Common Sense Education award winner).
