From brain fitness to neural workout

by G. Finkel on February 16th, 2010

This is the new stuff! You can control your keyboard with your brain – it will also serve as a neural workout.

It is known for some time that specific brain activities, designed in a specific way can be effective for brain training.
A new and exciting area of research also indicate that we can control different devices with the “power” of our brain.

A new study, from the University of Washington shows that when watching a cursor respond to one’s thoughts prompts brain signals to become stronger than those generated in day-to-day life. Having a greater activity in a specific area of the brain is the essence of brain training. The visual feedback on the brain activity looks like a potential new brain training technology.
The study also indicates that after a period of “learning”, the people studied the mechanism of activating the cursor, and a lower effort was needed. This shows how quickly the brain adopted its new role. [Source: http://www.washington.edu/]

And until this technology becomes available for brain training in general, as well as for more areas of the brain - such as memory improvement, you are welcome to use our brain training games for the job…
