Sharp Brains: Brain Fitness and Cognitive Health News

Brain Teaser to exercise your brain…now

Nice combination today, of article and brain teaser (thanks Ellen!).

1- Brain Teaser: Try this quick game and test your peripheral vision, visual short-term memory and hand-eye coordination. 

When all the numbered red squares are visible, try to get rid of them as fast as you can, in numerical order. You don’t have to click them… just touch them with the cursor. To start, click here. 

2- Article: Exercising your brain power, The News Journal, DE. ”Like your muscles, your mind needs regular workouts to remain in top shape as you age, but don’t sweat it — it can be easy and fun” 

3- If you like it, you may consider a more rigorous and personalized Brain Workout program to train 14 cognitive skills.
