Brain Age for Nintendo DS

I just received my copy of this very interesting “game” in the mail.

I first noticed it from a brief glimpse on The Science Channel. Once I saw that it was for the Nintendo DS, I thought I should check it out. I’ve also been looking for ways to help exercise my brain recently.

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is a fun, rewarding form of entertainment everyone can enjoy. Inspired by cutting-edge neuroscience, it’s a full set of reading and mathematic exercises that stimulate the brain. At the start, you’ll take a series of tests and get a score that determines how old your brain is. This is your “Brain Age” — by performing daily exercises just minutes a day over weeks and months, the better you’ll get and the lower your Brain Age will get.

My brain age started at 66 and is currently 30 (only +5 years from my real age :))

There is a handy calendar and graph feature built-in to help you track your progress through all the tests games.

I highly recommend this game for anyone else looking for a little brain exercise.
