Brain Fitness Software- Learn All About Your Different Options

Brain Fitness Software is an increasingly being discussed in articles and on television.  This has been made possible thanks in part to studies and recent scientific findings showing brain training games help improve brain functioning and the discussions surrounding these studies.  However, for most people, this field is still a new field with little information available on what customers can purchase.  Here, we take a look at this issue by providing some basic information on what you can find on the market today:   

1.  Software comes in online, cd-roms, or video game formats. 

There are currently three different formats that brain fitness software comes in.  Online software which is offered by companies like Lumosity.  Cd-rom software which is offered by companies like Posit Science and video game formats which are most recognized by Nintendo® products.    Of these, online software are the ones most likely to offer subscription services whereas the other types often have a flat cost for the product.

2.  Entertainment versus true brain training games. 

The industry is currently made up of basically two types of games.  Those that are geared more towards entertainment and those that are more true brain training games.  The former are made mostly by companies like Nintendo® which are designed more for the younger crowds and to play on consoles like the DS Lite®.  On the other hand, the pc games are largely more brain training focused and scientifically based.  The two most recognizable and valued companies in this area are Posit Science and Lumosity.   

3.  Price range varies depending on the company. 

The price point for each of these products depends on the company in large part.  Nintendo® products can often be had for under $30, but require the purchase of their larger system which can run between $100 to $400 depending on whether a portable console or standard console is purchased.  For pc brain fitness software, you will find subscription and product pricing.  Product pricing offers a one time cost, but will be often higher than the prices of subscription services.  For example, Posit Science promotes its programs currently at $395 compared to Lumosity’s cost of under $100 for its annual subscription.  Depending on your finances and budget, one program may be more ideal than the other.  We personally believe both games are great and support both although Posit Science programs are the most advanced in the field. 

The above should give you a good basic knowledge of what brain fitness software is available.
