MindFit, Posit Science, Happy Neuron

April 20, 2007 by Alvaro Fernandez

The Seat­tle Times has a good brief arti­cle today on Posit Sci­ence, Hap­py Neu­ron Games and us (they men­tion Mind­Fit Brain Work­out to “work on short-term mem­o­ry, nam­ing, divid­ed atten­tion, plan­ning, hand-eye coor­di­na­tion and oth­er cog­ni­tive measures.”).

Check Is your brain ready for the challenge?

———

For the record (giv­en a read­er’s com­ment below I changed the word “focus” with “men­tion”), we think Posit Sci­ence offers a great and inten­sive pro­gram most­ly focused on audi­to­ry pro­cess­ing, that Hap­pyNeu­ron offers a wider vari­ety of games online so it is a less struc­tured “pro­gram”, and Mind­Fit is a com­bi­na­tion of both approach­es (struc­tured pro­gram, wide vari­ety). Each of them are use­ful tools-it depends on what you may want to accom­plish. Sharp­Brains does not pro­duce any of them.

    I just read that arti­cle. Its a lit­tle disin­gen­u­ous to say “they focus on Mind­Fit Brain Work­out”. The arti­cle is more about Posit Sci­ence than any­thing else. Once they start talk­ing about prod­ucts specif­i­cal­ly its about equal between Posit Sci­ence, Hap­py Neu­ron and your prod­uct Mindfit.

    Just be straight for­ward in the future, thats all I ask. I love read­ing your content.

    Jason, thanks for the feed­back. The arti­cle seems to devote quite more space to Sharp­Brains and Mind­Fit than oth­ers, but this is not essen­tial infor­ma­tion, so I just changed the word “focus” and added a clarification. 

    Glad to hear you enjoy our blog! please let us know any more ques­tions or comments.
