your prescription: play brain games

I like the idea of going home from a doctor’s visit with a prescription to get on your computer and play brain games… or perhaps even playing a few while you are there. Simple & cheap yet effective…

More doctor’s prescriptions may include brain games to improve mental acuity

Word Order

The goal of this memory game is to remember the order of the words.

To start, you will be presented with a list of words one by one. Figure out some strategy for remembering the order in which they appear.

Once you have seen all the words in succession, they will all appear in a list. Drag and drop the words to rearrange them such that the top word corresponds to the first word you saw while the bottom was the last.

The NeuroActive Bike

While this seems a little odd, I must say that I like the idea. Exercising increases blood flow to the brain and increases mental functioning, so why not exercise your brain while exercising your body? Check out this post on the neuroactive bike

physical fitness equals mental fitness

this is hardly news of course, we’ve known for years that physical exercise improves mental functioning and slows down deterioration of the mind… but I would be remiss in promoting brain fitness but did not occasionally remind people this very important fact. Exercise regularly. Eat well. Be social. Explore hobbies. These are the most important things to do if you’re trying to keep your mind fit. if you are already doing all these things and want an extra boost, that’s where the brain exercises come into play.
