MindFit, IntelliGym, RoboMemo, Freeze-Framer

Mind­Fit, Intel­li­Gym, RoboMemo, Freeze-Framer? Is this a puz­zle? As you may have noticed, we just start­ed to offer through the web­site some of the Brain Fit­ness pro­grams we have been talk­ing about. For over a year we have been search­ing for best pro­grams world­wide, and here you have some of the pro­grams we have found. We have inter­viewed in this blog the key sci­en­tists behind two of them, and will inter­view the rest over the next weeks. You will be hear­ing more about these pro­grams in the gen­er­al media in the next months, as the field of sci­ence-based Brain Fit­ness and pro­grams like this mature. If you want a quick overview of these programs,

The Basketball IntelliGym™ Cognitive Trainer

The Intel­li­Gym takes bas­ket­ball train­ing to a whole new lev­el by giv­ing your mind a sophis­ti­cat­ed work­out to improve core bas­ket­ball abil­i­ties, such as coor­di­na­tion, atten­tion con­trol, periph­er­al vision, and per­cep­tion – skills which most peo­ple mis­tak­en­ly con­sid­er as instincts rather than train­able cog­ni­tive skills. And as the Intel­li­Gym improves your bas­ket­ball skills, it can also improve your aca­d­e­m­ic skills.

RoboMemo: Cogmed Working Memory Training for ADD/ADHD

Research shows that every­one can improve his or her work­ing mem­o­ry – but train­ing is espe­cial­ly effec­tive for those with atten­tion deficits. RoboMemo, Cogmed Work­ing Mem­o­ry Train­ing pro­gram, is specif­i­cal­ly designed to help chil­dren with atten­tion deficits to over­come the work­ing mem­o­ry gap.
