Brain Games Training
Training your brain with brain games is a fun way to improve your memory and concentration. Playing games, puzzles, and brain teasers each day keeps your brain in top shape. Regularly playing brain games can also increase other mental abilities, such as mental processing speed, cognitive control, and reaction time. These skills are valuable at school, in the workplace, and in daily life. According to research, playing brain games can even help prevent Alzheimer's Disease. I've searched the web for free puzzles, mindbenders, logic games, and other brain games. To play these games, click the links to the right. For those who want a more scientific approach, I highly recommend Lumosity brain training. I have been a subscriber to Lumosity for several months now, and it works! (See below.) Plan a Little, Then Play
If you're not sure how to build a brain exercise program, try the following:
In addition to being a fun way to work out your mind, puzzles and brainteasers are great ways to take a break from other "normal" work. Now you can justify to your parents, significant other, or boss why you spend so much time playing games. You're keeping your mind active and building a stronger brain! Brain Training ServicesPlaying free brain games on the web has the advantage that the games don't cost anything. But it is actually a rather haphazard way to train your brain. After all, you don't get any real feedback or the ability to track your progress. That's why I started investigating brain training services and brain software. You may have heard of Brain Age, for example, which is brain training software available for Nintendo game sets. I finally decided to use an online service rather than software. With a service, you get the most up to date training and enhancements. The service that I joined is called "Lumosity". Lumosity costs me $6.60 dollars a month, which certainly isn't much. I think it's an excellent investment, considering that we are talking about increasing my mental abilities! The way Lumosity works is this. Each morning I log in to my Lumosity account. There is a brain training session waiting for me. I spend about 10 minutes playing the 4 or 5 scientific brain games already selected for me. Each game helps develop a different mental ability, and the games vary from session to session. After each game, I receive feedback about how well I did that time. At the end, I can review my progress since I started, if I want. Progress in each game is measured by Lumosity's "BPI", or the Brain Performance Index. In the near future, I'll add a page that describes more about my experience with Lumosity. But for now, click the "Reclaim your Brain" image at right to learn more.
