Reclaim Your Brain

It has long been thought that our mental abilities were fixed at a young age, with no possibility of improvement .
In recent years more evidence raised that our mental abilities, such as memory, attention, creativity, and problem solving,
can be improved at any age with the right kind of brain exercise.
A number of scientific studies have shown that properly constructed exercises can lead to improvements that go beyond
the task subjects used for training. Last year, a University of Michigan lab demonstrated that working memory training
can lead to an improvement in fluid intelligence.
Another set of studies by researchers at the University of Alabama linked visual attention training to safer driving.
Research in the field of cognitive science is currently at an explosive stage where it will likely remain until the brain
and all of its intricate workings are mapped and understood.
Users of brain exercises are experiencing positive, often profound, results including :improved reasoning, speed, and accuracy
clearer thinking , improvemnet of short-term working memory , enhanced problem solving abilities and creative thinking.
