Mind fit software

MindWeavers Plc. Brain Exercises from MindFit Brain Gym Software Are Scientifically Proven to Improve Cognitive Skills MindFit, a brain training PC software package has been shown to be more effective in improving cognitive skills, thereby combating the effects of brain aging, than other computer games by results of a clinical study into brain training software delivered at the eight international Alzheimer's conference in Salzburg, Austria.

This was demonstrated by a two year long study conducted in Tel-Aviv, Israel in which the participants were asked to spend 30 minutes, three times a week playing either MindFit brain training games or other computer games that also exercised a range of cognitive skills, for a period of three months. The exercises are fun. I've only completed the first one, and I'm anxious to start the second one.

I'm confident that my memory and attention will improve. My mother has Alzheimer's. I'm hoping MindFit will prevent or, at the very least, delay a decline in my cognitive skills. Peggy, I'm not sure I have the words to express my appreciation for this program.

I am 45 years old and have dementia. I know what I was capable of doing almost 3 years ago and know that I cannot do a fraction of the same tasks now. In daily life we are often required to carry out more than one assignment at a time. A typist reads and types simultaneously and tries to do both tasks as accurately as possible. A driver needs to look in the mirror while driving backwards.

We often answer the phone while we continue doing our ongoing duties. The 'Two In One' task exercises the ability to perform such tasks quickly and accurately. The "Picasso" Task trains visual short term memory as well as synthesis ability- the ability to rebuild a pattern from given parts. In daily life, we often have separate elements that we need to combine into a pattern.

For example, when we assemble a new device, cook something by following a recipe, or build something from a kit, we need to join different bits of information in a logical way. I have now installed it and I really enjoy doing these exercises. They seem simple and yet difficult at the same time, but really keep you alert. I do enjoy them greatly.

MindFit, created by CogniFit, Ltd. Exercising with MindFit cognitive assessment and training software for just 20 minutes a day, three times per week, provides a workout for the brain spanning 14 different cognitive areas including short-term memory, attention focus, spatial orientation, reaction time, memory recall, time estimations, shifting abilities, visual short term memory, awareness, planning and eye-hand coordination.

We believe this program will assist and ensure that our participants improve their cognitive skills, making them more productive individuals," said Barbara Celnar, senior centers director, Senior Friendship Centers in Sarasota, Fla. MindFit has been proven to make a positive impact on cognitive skills. In a double blind clinical trial of baby boomers and seniors, MindFit users experienced greater improvement in the cognitive domains of spatial short-term memory, visuo-spatial learning and focused attention than those who played traditional computer games.

The company focuses on developing advanced software tools for consumers and businesses that assess and enhance basic cognitive skills such as memory, perception and attention. They found the program's assessment of their individual capabilities, rather than a single number tagging their 'brain age' more satisfying and reality-based.

A great deal of effort has been made to balance the scientifically proven benefits of this brain training software with the fun factor, ensuring that as people are motivated by enjoyment of the brain exercise games, they are also achieving the maximum cognitive training benefit. The science behind their powerful brain training techniques is led by two of the world's foremost neuroscientists: David Moore, Director of the Medical Research Council Institute of Hearing Research and world-renowned expert on "the Auditory Brain" and Baroness Professor Susan Greenfield, Director of the Royal Institution, award winning science communicator and world expert in neurodevelopment and degeneration.
