Brain Age 1 & 2 keep the brain sharp!



Another commercial that I saw this week was for the game "Brain Age 2" . What this does is give you different activities to complete as fast as you can.

Most of the problems are math related, but some involve other subjects like music. What's really cool about this though, is when you want to give the answer, you just use a pointer to write right on the screen. That makes this game fast and easy for anyone.

Some people might be skeptical about it actually "keeping your brain sharp" but the game is based off of actual research. The research was conducted by Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, a prominent Japanese neuroscientist; so you know it must be good.

Honestly, after watching a 50ish-year-old man whiz through a bunch of math problems on the Brain Age website, I was very scared I wouldn't be able to keep up!
