Editorial Policy

We aim to use reliable and relevant sources, prioritising original research, systematic reviews, recognised academic institutions, public-health organisations and established professional bodies where appropriate.

Sources should be linked or identified so readers can examine them directly. A source does not automatically prove every interpretation made in an article, so conclusions should reflect the strength and limits of the available evidence.

Research about brain training, meditation and cognition can be mixed or limited. We aim to distinguish between improvement on a practised task, improvement on related skills and broad claims about intelligence or everyday functioning.

We use qualified language such as “may,” “can support” or “research suggests” where certainty is not justified. We also aim to explain meaningful limitations and conflicting results.

Articles should identify their author or responsible editorial team. Where an individual author is named, their profile should explain their role, relevant experience and the subjects they cover.

A NeuroLifts Team byline means the article was produced under this editorial policy on behalf of NeuroLifts. It does not imply medical authorship or specialist clinical credentials.

Research, spelling, formatting, transcription or drafting tools may assist the editorial process. Their output should not be treated as an authoritative source.

Before publication, assisted content should be checked for accuracy, clarity, unsupported claims, fabricated references and consistency with this policy. Editorial responsibility remains with NeuroLifts and the identified author or team.

When an article describes a NeuroLifts test, experiment or personal experience, we aim to explain who conducted it, what was tested, the method used and the observed result.

Informal demonstrations should be labelled clearly and should not be presented as controlled scientific research or proof that other people will receive the same result.

NeuroLifts provides general wellbeing, educational, mindfulness, cognitive activity and entertainment content. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, trauma therapy or emergency services.

Articles discussing symptoms, trauma, memory loss or mental health should encourage appropriate professional support and must not tell readers to ignore, replace or delay qualified medical care.

Some articles refer to NeuroLifts games, exercises or features. These relationships should be clear to the reader. Product references should not alter the evidence presented or turn an uncertain conclusion into a guaranteed benefit.

We do not guarantee that using NeuroLifts will improve intelligence, memory, attention, academic performance, work performance or a medical condition.

Where an external specialist contributes to or reviews an article, their name, role and relevant credentials should be displayed with their permission.

Review means the person assessed the material within their stated area. It does not mean they endorse every part of NeuroLifts.

Articles should display their original publication date. When a meaningful change is made to the substance, sourcing or conclusions, the article should also display an updated date.

Minor spelling, formatting or style changes do not necessarily require an updated date. Dates must not be changed merely to make older content appear newly published.

We aim to correct material factual errors promptly. Significant corrections should be acknowledged where doing so helps readers understand what changed.

Content may be removed when it is unsafe, substantially inaccurate, unlawfully published or no longer capable of being corrected responsibly.

Disagreement with an interpretation does not automatically mean an article is factually incorrect, but evidence-supported challenges will be reviewed.
