U.S.A. prevails and is good for the brain game: Useful, but limited
The modern has exceeded any era in the past to one's own concern. The intersection of years old and growth that year, people find people are not only of flaccid muscles, wrinkles increased, the brain reacts and makes slow too, memory is not so good as the past. Then, after being fond of keeping the skin young and callisthenics stature, people begin to pursue one again to be " younger " Head.
In U.S.A., various are good for brain software and club and arise at the historic moment, especially to the " baby boom " stepping into the old age Generation come, say the more and more vigorous demand, industry further more prosperous so as to good for brain too. From 2005 to 2007, U.S.A. is good for the total assets of brain trade and already grow from 100 million dollars to 250 million dollars, specially investigate the favourable brain company (Sharp Brains) on the market of exercise software of brain Founder Alva south in Luo Ver for Germany Sri Lankan (Alvaro Fernandez) Say, " there will be explosive growth in 2008 in this field. This trade needs to train the tool also has coaches, future prospects are much not worse than what a lot of people anticipated. "
To delaying the brain oldly and feebly and beneficially
Being good for the brain software can trace to the source to Nintendo Company initially>On the game. Its birth and Japanese island of neurology professor's Sichuan of Northeastern University are grand very much (Ryuta Kawashima) Situation of selling well reading materials>Have something to do. Sichuan island grand to propose existing the intersection of computer game and the intersection of forehead and leaf in mankind develop enoughly in the book very much, long term administration will possibly damage the brain. " the platinum of brain has " turned back the computer game " The idiot " Trend,last brain forehead leaf ability of people. Since 2006, have already sold more than 5,500,000 in U.S.A., has swept two places in the America and Japan with " platinum of brain ".
" platinum of brain ",etc. is good for the brain software and based on to the training of working memory and cognitive handling capacity mostly. The working memory among them, namely store the ability of information in the human brain in a short time, it is the important part of the human cognitive ability. The same as cognitive handling capacity, working memory will receive very great influence when being old and feeble. The study on 2832 old persons of 2006 shows, use " cognition was trained " according to " magazine of American medical association " ,For example discern there are any methods of law in a group of letters or words, really contribute to improving memory and improves and deduce ability. And what issued found the research which the elderly carry on over 487 65 in " old magazine of medical association of U.S.A. " this year, the person training in 40 hours through the exercise software of brain within 8 weeks improves notably in memory and attention. Seem to design apt cognition and work to train, it is very helpful for brain to it is old and feeble to slow down.It is mainly a memory game to be good for the brain gameBut are these products which are good for the brain company really effective? " the the intersection of brain and platinum " products look and general the intersection of PSP and handheld game machine similar, include various the intersection of training and little game in the chip, for example a word which erases several letters pays and fills a vacancy, or the pattern collocating with a certain figure appearing before remembering. Meanwhile, " platinum of brain " will also be encouraged when the player answer questions, can be regarded as and use psychological strengthening the method. Finally, " platinum of brain " will output a user's brain achievement, such as 57 years old.
Another one is good for brain software>Look that make people convinced about some. It by still the intersection of Swedish and the intersection of medical college and the intersection of Martin and rich Shi KuEr (Martin Buschkuehl) of student at that time Research and develop, for suffer from patient of senile dementia, resume cognitive ability and design at first. Because of welcoming by patient favourably, the rich history storehouse turns it into a PC game, mainly face the elderly and teenagers who suffer from hyperkinetic syndrome whose cognitive ability degenerated. The software mainly includes some memory games too, such as " animal's name array of memory " With " N-back coaching method " ,And the difficulty of game will increase progressively. The game has editions with comprehensive sense of hearing and vision, people must stretch every nerve, test that just probably cooperates through ear of this eyes.
At least 1/3 are good for the brain software to mix the genuine with the fictitious
Good for the brain Company and believe result of their products firmly, several research have shown recently, though end item really effective, overall result calculate that can't be fully up to expectations. Neurologist Peter and Sand (Peter Snyder) of Brown University Good for the intersection of brain and result of software, go on, investigate to 20, find these software raise the intersection of people and the intersection of intelligence and the intersection of competence and and display mediocrely. The result reports of most software are filled with flaws, do not lack and control the group, lack follow-up study. Until the first stage of " the the intersection of Al and the intersection of Hamer and disease and dementia now ", at the magazine, Sand think have 1/3 good for brain software to mix the genuine with the fictitious at least recently, "wonder how their result of study was issued. "
Only neuropsychologist Grane and Smith (Glenn Smith) Research scientific in Saite for wave (Posit Science) Company good for brain software rather favorable, sincere software this promote to working memory and processing speed helpful. But such auxiliary function is very small, the working memory level that the person playing games improves does not probably play games people's twice. Through the exercise of 8 weeks, whole achievement is only 4% of improvement. Sand thinks, it is very outstanding that such achievement already can be regarded as to good for the brain gaming, the long-term result also needs further verification.
The healthy head is good too
The neurologist of the card research institute of Swedish Carol forest Sri Lankan holds gram Colin and Bogg (Torkel Klingberg) Use PET and the intersection of function and nuclear method of magnetic resonance imaging, participate in develop good for the intersection of brain and software, go on, prove for he himself, find, use behind the sincere software this, people dopamine realize, change in the brain. The dopamine receptor is a messenger who exchanged among the nerve in the human learning process. Colin result of Bogg reveal no matter experimenter which kind of unusual state dopamine is in at the beginning of studying, will reply to after training and is most suitable for the healthy level. But because Colin holder of share of software company this one of too in Bogg, Sand thinks people still need to keep prudent to this research.
Sand thinks, by the look of these reports, most companies, in order to let the one's own one good for the brain software to sell well, will inevitablely try hard to explain the result of study " a wild boast "ly. It's a great pity still the rigorous science unable to stand examines most reports. He proposes, if want to really keep the young brain, how much " gold of brain " Yet worth every day take exercises,"healthy,head might as well ". In addition, good eating habit and active social life quite benefits in preventing the brain from being old and feeble too. If you want to really keep the head young, it must be far from enough to only lean against the efficiency which is good for the brain software.
