The Seat­tle Times has a good brief arti­cle today on Posit Sci­ence, Happy Neu­ron Games and us (they men­tion Mind­Fit Brain Work­out to “work on short-term mem­ory, nam­ing, divided atten­tion, plan­ning, hand-eye coor­di­na­tion and other cog­ni­tive measures.”).

Check Is your brain ready for the challenge?

For the record (given a reader’s com­ment below I changed the word “focus” with “men­tion”), we think Posit Sci­ence offers a great and inten­sive pro­gram mostly focused on audi­tory pro­cess­ing, that Hap­pyNeu­ron offers a wider vari­ety of games online so it is a less struc­tured “pro­gram”, and Mind­Fit is a com­bi­na­tion of both approaches (struc­tured pro­gram, wide vari­ety). Each of them are use­ful tools-it depends on what you may want to accom­plish. Sharp­Brains does not pro­duce any of them.
