Brain Training Games

Brain Training Games  

Brain Training Games are perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of Brain Training. The new industry has seen a number of games hit the market in the form of online or pc computer games and games designed for video game systems. Probably the most popular are Nintendo’s Brain Age games due to their advertising campaign.  However, they are not alone as there are a number of other companies on the market. This list includes games from companies like Lumosity, Happy Neuron, CogniFit, and Posit Science. These games are particularly interesting because they are the first attempt to improve brain training based on the new research. 

My goal is to give candid reviews of these games to give you an idea of what you can expect with each one.   With this information, you can choose the brain training games that will fit your schedule and provide you with the most value.    

As this is a new industry, we can also expect to see a variety of changes over the next few years. This means you will likely see adjustments to the games as companies tweak their games to meet the public's demand for certain features and options.  Also, additional companies are likely to join the current market which will lead to more competition.  After a few years, you can likely expect to see some mergers of existing companies in the near future.  However, the focus of these games will remain in two areas: (1) prevent cognitive decline of the elderly and (2) promote optimum memory for those who are interested in improving their skills.  I will be watching the games and the industry closely and give you my honest opinions on what changes will mean.
