Take the Senses Challenge

By:

This is a very fun link to a series of 20 timed puz­zles put together by the BBC. It should take you about 10 min­utes or less to com­plete.
The Senses Chal­lenge

You also might enjoy their Inter­ac­tive Brain which allows you to explore both the struc­ture and func­tion of your brain. The func­tions will help you learn what areas of your brain you are exer­cis­ing when you do or feel cer­tain things.

They map out for you: anger, con­scious­ness, dis­gust, hap­pi­ness, lan­guage under­stand­ing, move­ment, self aware­ness, smell, taste, touch, breath­ing, coor­di­na­tion, fight or flight, hear­ing, long-term episodic mem­ory, sad­ness, self con­trol, speech pro­duc­tion, thirst and hunger, and vision.

Enjoy!

    i’m look­ing for mind teasers or games to chal­lange the minds of my din­ner club con­sist­ing of males and females ages 65+. Are there any on DVDs?

    Dolly,

    Off­hand I don’t know any brain teaser or puz­zle DVDs. There are lots of books and we have many teasers on this site, but I don’t know any DVDs.

    You might want to look at our Exer­cise Your Brain DVD and see if it works for your needs. It is an 80 minute class on brain fit­ness with exam­ples of how you can exer­cise your var­i­ous men­tal mus­cles. You can watch a pre­view at the link I gave you.

    Sounds like a fun din­ner party!
