Exercise is good for your brain: The Posit Science Brain Fitness Program
The Brain Fitness Program was developed by Posit Science, the leading provider of scientifically validated brain fitness products and services. Posit Science works with more than 50 leading scientists globally to create computer programs that give the brain a workout. Proven effective in dozens of published studies, these programs improve memory, increase brain speed, and help people get the most out of life.
Featuring six exercises that speed up and sharpen how the brain processes and remembers speech and other sounds.
Benefits
The IMPACT study--the largest study to examine a widely available brain fitness program--found that the Brain Fitness Program helped older adults:
- Improve memory by 10+ years
- Increase brain processing speed by 131%
- Enhance everyday life by helping users feel more confident and independent
Early research has also found promising results for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease, chemobrain, and cognitive symptoms associated with other conditions.
How Does the Program Work?
Posit Science programs exercise the brain and drive physical changes that create new neural pathways and connections. These positive changes can directly improve memory, attention, and other cognitive abilities.
