Online Games

Participating in Brain Games Online is becoming an ever increasing activity for pleasure or for focused memory improvement. There are more and more types of games you can play online and a growing number of websites.

For years Neuroscientists have understood the importance of exercising the brain like you would a skeletal muscle to keep it conditioned. With the release of hugely marketed products like the Nintendo DS Brain Games more of the general public are now aware of the need to exercise the brain.

If you are looking for pure fun games to play online head to a general gaming site. There are literally tens of thousands of these online right now.

Even playing some basic target shooting games or puzzles will help keep your brain conditioned and improve hand to eye co-ordination. If you are looking for scientifically designed brain games online by leading Neuroscientists then head to a company that has developed some of the more challenging and functional games.

When your not online there are some simple ways to keep your brain functioning well:

Read. Literally read anything, it will help but the more challenging the better. Saying that I wouldn't head straight into Stephen Hawkins' "A Brief History Of Time" - That could fry your brain!

Crosswords and Puzzles. Sudoku is a great method that many people recommend.

Talk. Not jibber jabber but converse with someone regularly on some informational topics. Not Politics ha ha - again there is a risk of frying your brain when you realize how strange politicians are!
