Vybrané psychologické testy, které FGÚ zpřístupnilo, jako součást letošního online Týdne mozku měly úspěch. Během týdenní akce si jeden z testů zkusilo udělat 1261 lidí, alespoň jeden test dokončilo 1023 lidí a alespoň jeden dotazník vyplnilo 864 lidí (úplná statistika testů). Zájemci si mohli vyzkoušet test pracovní a epizodické paměti, test převzetí perspektivy nebo test skrytého cíle. Testy jsou používané ke zjištění postižení paměti a prostorové orientace u pacientů s Alzheimerovou chorobou, epilepsií nebo schizofrenií. Testy je i nadále možné vyzkoušet na tomto odkazu.
