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.
