Cog­ni­tive train­ing and stress man­age­ment, Mind­Fit and Freeze-Framer (or emWave): two com­ple­men­tary sides of Brain Fitness.

Research shows that adults can and should take care of their brains, both for short-term and long-term ben­e­fits. Through brain exer­cise we can improve our over­all cog­ni­tive func­tion right now—making quick deci­sions, stay­ing calm and focused under pres­sure, and mul­ti­task­ing effec­tively. Over time, we may not reduce our brain age, but we can build up a cog­ni­tive reserve to buffer against age-related cog­ni­tive decline or other pro­gres­sive dis­eases. Short term and long term, we all want to lead pro­duc­tive, suc­cess­ful lives.

Any good brain fit­ness pro­gram must pro­vide you a vari­ety of new chal­lenges over time. While recre­ational activ­i­ties like bridge, sudoku, and cross­word puz­zles can work our brain, only a com­pre­hen­sive tool based in sci­en­tific research, like Mind­Fit, can work your men­tal mus­cles sys­tem­at­i­cally through a com­pletely indi­vid­u­al­ized train­ing reg­i­men for your pre­cise cog­ni­tive level. Mind­Fit focuses on life abil­i­ties such as: work­ing mem­ory, visual and audi­tory short term mem­ory, plan­ning (want to train your neo­cor­tex?), loca­tion mem­ory, nam­ing, time esti­ma­tion, divided atten­tion, and hand-eye coor­di­na­tion. Mind­Fit Cor­po­rate is the same edi­tion of Mind­Fit which can be used by com­pa­nies (please con­tact us if inter­ested in learn­ing more). 

Now, If the over­ar­ch­ing goal of a brain fit­ness pro­gram is to increase neu­ro­ge­n­e­sis, the cre­ation of new neu­rons in your brain, then stress man­age­ment is essen­tial, as pro­longed stress kills the very cells you are try­ing to grow. A biofeed­back pro­gram, like Freeze-Framer, pro­vides imme­di­ate feed­back on how you’re doing at low­er­ing your stress and main­tain­ing your peak per­for­mance zone. The included sen­sor shows your heart rate vari­abil­ity in real time as you prac­tice calm­ing and focus­ing tech­niques. It’s easy to use and you can see the results imme­di­ately. After a few 10-minute ses­sions per week, you should be able to carry the skills you have learned into your office, home, gym, or ath­letic competition.

Prob­lem		Solu­tion
Con­cern for main­tain­ing and improv­ing exist­ing cog­ni­tive func­tions, as well as slow­ing any age-related cog­ni­tive decline		Our Mind­Fit Brain Work­out tests 14 dif­fer­ent cog­ni­tive skills based on a per­son­al­ized train­ing regimen.
Work stress, fam­ily pres­sure, and anx­i­ety over respon­si­bil­i­ties in life		Freeze-Framer teaches you to achieve phys­i­o­log­i­cal bal­ance, men­tal clar­ity, and emo­tional stability.
