What's cooking for the Brain? What's hot, what's not.

May 22nd 2007 00:23

Brain activity and games
Signature Tune



If you answer yes to any of the following, then this is the site for you:
# Have you ever wished you could be a little quicker, a little sharper mentally?
# Are you under increasing pressure to absorb more information, from more sources, more rapidly?

# Is your stress level rising due to the need (both at work and home) to perform multiple tasks simultaneously?
# Do you wish you could concentrate better in the presence of distractions?
# Would faster physical reflexes and sharper visual discrimination serve you well on the ballfield or tennis court or basketball court? How about behind the wheel of your car?
# Is it critical at times for you to be at your mental best (a big meeting, an examination, a job interview)?

The site is For the brain

MyBrainTrainerTM.com contains short, fun individual exercises designed to stimulate different parts of your brain. Just as regular workouts in a gym improve your physical fitness, regular mental workouts of only 10 - 20 minutes daily can improve your cognitive function and brain processing speed. And, you can expect to see results far quicker with brain training than you can from physical workouts. By the end of our unique 21-Day Basic Training Program, most users report a significant improvement in their speed of information processing and their ability to focus.


This site will give you a lot more, even test your brain, if that's what you want?

But, I take no responsibility for the types of questions and the solutions. But, for you, it's up to you.

I'm already happy with the various measures I engage for my brain, but will look out for the definitive program.

In the meantime it doesn't hurt to know what is being offered and tried.

How do you define old?

When you're stupid you're stupid, once stupid always stupid.

I'm SHARP, but do snooze occasionally.

How about you?

I am kinda sceptical you can improve your brain bysolving those little puzzles.

You need to find puzzles that challenge your mind at least a little and preferably of a wide variety.

Plus all the physical and nutritional recommendations, plus learning new things to ensure the brain is used in a variety of ways.

There have been studies that have yielded good results with some of those programs, not necessarily those ones to which I've linked and they are still working on such things.

Meanwhile I have noticed I have sharpened up my own brain.

I engage in a wide range of mental activities and always have but those plaques do accumulate through life and we need to maintain the size of our brains, and use its plasticity to encourage new neural connections which can create circuits around and bypassing the damaged areas.

"Use it or lose it" is the current view. But the brain is not a muscle but similar principles apply.

By engaging too much in one particular form of brain work, e.g. a job, the unused sections tend to decline, through lack of use.

Reading is recommended although I am of the personal opinion this is not sufficiently varied, crosswords, sudoku etc, but I extend my mind much further than along these lines.

Learning 'new things' is beneficial rather that repetitively performing old ones is the way to go, but that does not imply one's normal activities should be dropped.

All our brains can be improved, to our advantage.

I've yet to see a particular program that excites me, not that I've seen too much. Having a go at lots of different things must yield results.

Thanks for the visit.
