Brain exercise

[Guest guest]

There was a program on PBS early this morning called Brain

Fitness Program. So much new knowledge about how the brain DOES

change over our lifetimes is being discovered now that scientists

can test for what is actually happening inside the brain as it is

doing different tasks. They are also using physical training to

help physically and/or mentally injured persons to improve

practical functioning in life. It is a fascinating program so if

it airs in your area, I highly encourage you to watch it. Peter

Coyote from ET fame narrates.

 

Watching what they had to say inspired me to look on the web for

similar products.

 

An Israeli company called www.Cognifit.com has some PC only (no

MAC) computer programs to increase cognitive skills such as

observation, memory and attention. One of their programs is also

focused on improving driving skills. Some trucking companies are

using that to assist their drivers in being better, safer

drivers. Another program has helped new drivers to pass the

driving test itself. The web site says there was a 16%

improvement in passing the test the first time it was taken.

 

One example of the tests was to watch a ball moving inside a

square. If the ball was heading for the side where the color was

different from the ball, the place it was heading is to be

clicked with the mouse and it will change color to match the

ball. The real test came when there were two squares with two

balls moving around. I did better on the left side than the right

on that one. It might not come as a surprise that I am primarily

left handed.

 

I forgot whether to click the ball or side of the square so I

know I missed some until I changed what I was doing. If what you

are doing isn't working, do something different!!!! NLP at it's

finest.

 

The download is $129 and a CD can also be ordered at a slightly

higher cost. One license per person is required since the program

configures itself to match what YOU need to focus on improving.

 

There are demos available you can experience to get an idea of

whether you are interested for yourself, a spouse or for a

parent. Play with it for yourself.

 

This is not the only program of this type available. Do your own

web search it this is not your cup of tea.

It was an interesting program. They seemed to give away most of their

secrets during the show, though. I would be interested to know what

else was in the program for $129.
