Mind­Fit, Intel­li­Gym, RoboMemo, Freeze-Framer? Is this a puz­zle? As you may have noticed, we just started to offer through the web­site some of the Brain Fit­ness pro­grams we have been talk­ing about. For over a year we have been search­ing for best pro­grams world­wide, and here you have some of the pro­grams we have found. We have inter­viewed in this blog the key sci­en­tists behind two of them, and will inter­view the rest over the next weeks. You will be hear­ing more about these pro­grams in the gen­eral media in the next months, as the field of science-based Brain Fit­ness and pro­grams like this mature. If you want a quick overview of these programs,

Mind­Fit Brain Workout

Mind­Fit is a per­sonal trainer for your brain. It takes you through a wide vari­ety of cus­tomized, sci­en­tif­i­cally based exer­cises to chal­lenge 14 dif­fer­ent cog­ni­tive func­tions and skill areas. It assesses your men­tal skills, trains you, and pro­motes over­all cog­ni­tive vital­ity. Twenty min­utes a day, three times a week is all it takes to keep your brain in top shape.

The Bas­ket­ball Intel­li­Gym™ Cog­ni­tive Trainer

The Intel­li­Gym takes bas­ket­ball train­ing to a whole new level by giv­ing your mind a sophis­ti­cated work­out to improve core bas­ket­ball abil­i­ties, such as coor­di­na­tion, atten­tion con­trol, periph­eral vision, and per­cep­tion – skills which most peo­ple mis­tak­enly con­sider as instincts rather than train­able cog­ni­tive skills. And as the Intel­li­Gym improves your bas­ket­ball skills, it can also improve your aca­d­e­mic skills.

RoboMemo: Cogmed Work­ing Mem­ory Train­ing for ADD/ADHD

Research shows that every­one can improve his or her work­ing mem­ory – but train­ing is espe­cially effec­tive for those with atten­tion deficits. RoboMemo, Cogmed Work­ing Mem­ory Train­ing pro­gram, is specif­i­cally designed to help chil­dren with atten­tion deficits to over­come the work­ing mem­ory gap.

Freeze-Framer® Learn­ing Sys­tem and Stress Management

The Freeze-Framer is an easy-to-use soft­ware pro­gram, learn­ing sys­tem, and patented Heart Rate Vari­abil­ity mon­i­tor. The Freeze-Framer helps you get into The Zone of opti­mal learn­ing and per­for­mance by man­ag­ing the neg­a­tive effects of stress and anxiety.

Enjoy,
