Brain Fitness Online at HAPPYneuron. Scientifically proven brain fitness program with expert coaching.

Brain Fitness CD-ROM -- Windows Software Brings Brain Training to the Desktop

After several years of increasing interest in brain fitness, there are a wide variety of mind training programs available including both web-based online solutions and software for the PC. However if you are looking for a uniform brain training environment online and on the desktop -- you should consider two products developed by Happy Neuron.

I have reviewed both of these solutions in previous posts. In Make Every Cell in Your Brain a Happy Neuron -- Complete Review -- Free Games and 7 Day Free Trial Memership I examine in detail the online brain training games and exercies which make up the Brain Fitness online training program.

Each of these games and exercies are targeted townard the development of higher level brain functions such as memory, language, attention, executive and visual/spacial skills.

An example of one of these games which I discuss and which is pictured below is An American in Paris which you can try for free on the HAPPYneuron website. 

This same game and a many of the other games are also available in the latest version of HAPPYneuron's windows program which I reviewed in Brain Fitness Windows CD-ROM Is Aerobics for Your Mind.

After reviewing both of these products, I found myself using the HAPPYNeuron system more often than the other systems I have available. The reason is that I find that when you start a brain training exercise, there is barrier for me. I sometimes will get into doing the exorcise but sometimes my mind rebels and I have to shut down the program or leave the training website and try later.

For me personally, much of this resistance is having to spend time learning the game. Usually when you first start a game, you forget the instructions or just do not have get what they want. As you play a game, you "get the hang of it" and it goes from being a chore to being fun like a game should.

Of course both Brain Fitness online or the CD-ROM track your improvement. But you have to play a game before you improve. Having a familiar and consistent brain training environment is an advantage but sometimes it is  is more than just an advantage -- it is the difference between doing your workout or not doing your workout.
