I guess I haven't used my brain much since college - many years ago. It is nearly midnight - maybe I will do better after sleeping. This is a great site. Thank you!

Some good websites to try (they offer free trials, so you can test them), are lumosity.com happy-neuron.com Lynn: thanks for your suggestions. Brenda: that makes a lot of sense. Physical exercise is a very important part of the brain health equation.

I am so thrilled that there are big breakthroughs in "Brain Science" I've conducted many non scientific brain tests on myself and can tell you that, each time I do a test right after strenuous physical exercise, I score very well...astounding myself! Fun to test yourself and watch your brain respond...it really does!...and quicker than you might suspect! So thanks for the fun teasers! Hi, this is great.

Working on these games actually can encourage new connex and celles in the brain. And there are a lot of "freebies" out there. Check out: braingle.com gamesforthebrain.com There are others, too. Alvaro may have other ideas. Free is good. Best wishes to you from another Marilyn who goes by Lynn. Sorry to hear about your TBI.

My rehab plugged me into looking for "brain exercises" like what you offer but I am not able to work yet so the better the deal, like "free", the more likely I am to get involved I am a well educated, highly intellectual person who suffered a traumatic brain injury six months ago, and that is without doubt the worst thing and most life challenging event ever.

This is exciting, and I shared it with a girlfriend. We are both active 63 y/o's and love to keep outselves active. I enjoy the mind teasers and will do them daily. thanks again, marion I found your website after the PBS special and loved it. This is exciting, and I shared it with a girlfriend.
