You can see here an interview with interview with Dr. Slate Magazine presents a special issue on the brain. We will review and comment on it soon, including a neurobic club/ brain gym.Having said so, in our opinion, Posit Science offers the best program we have seen focused on improving auditory processing, and we expect to see more clear studies soon-the field is relatively new. The writer’s tone is positive overall but adds a note of skepticism, saying that “Yet despite the enthusiastic testimony I heard from senior citizens who have tried the program, there are no formal studies published in peer-reviewed journals that demonstrate the program’s effects” and gathering criticisms outlined by other researchers. Merzenich (a UCSF neuroscientist) with Scientific Learning and Posit Science, pioneers in the field. Posit Science received a 465,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop the program with the YMCA and input from brain health experts at the University of California, San Francisco. Though older adults have fewer accidents than younger people because they drive less, theyre more likely to die or suffer serious injuries.

The article (which is not available online) provides a great overview of the amazing work of Prof. Posit Science, which produces the BrainHQ app, is collaborating with the YMCA of San Francisco to establish a model community-based program for dementia prevention. At the moment, theres particular interest in Posit Sciences new InSight software because it says it can keep older adults safe behind the wheel. All it takes is time in his mental gym”. Gail and I both immediately liked the name. It was designed by an international team of neuroscientists, led by Michael Merzenicha professor emeritus in neurophysiology, member of the National Academy of Sciences, co-inventor of the cochlear implant, and Kavli Prize laureate. DISCOVER Magazine, May 2007 issue, brings a great article titled “ The Elastic Brain: Michael Merzenich believes you can tone your mind and stave off memory loss. In the context of the educational system of the ’70s and ’80s that referred to learning challenges as minimal brain dysfunction, and perhaps anticipating the ’90s and the decade of the brain, and further, given my understanding of cognitive science and the relationship between learning and movement, the name Brain Gym came to me. The BrainHQ brain-training program represents the culmination of 30 years of research in neurological science and related medicine.
