  • In an age where education and technology are among the highest of priorities, quick brain remedies have become the new snake oil.

  • @megaterra69 True, but imagine if we were running it :). lol Doubt the world would even still be here.

  • this doesnt make any sence, if it stimulates your brain then it should make you smarter, if it makes you a faster thinker than youll find it easier to learn things 

  • I don't see how the test was conclusive. They showed a tiny glimpse of the training games but no real info on the games and how long the training went. It did not show the test in "mental abilities" afterwards, either.

  • Read 'The brain that changes itself' and watch you tube clips about 'Posit Science' the above is a crap commercial news story that didn't look at the scientific versions of brain training, just nintendo type rip off rubbish.

  • @ptcala99 Fucking right it does!

  • @megaterra69 that sounds like a lot of "fun"

  • 0:55 does anybody else hear john hurt?

  • Hmm... So much of learning is through memorization, repetitive actions/practice, & then applying that knowledge 2 real world events/life. I am surprised that many have not used this video as an excuse 2 end the public school system. According 2 this video, it seems that they R saying that there is no sense in practicing & honing UR skills because U R where U at. Being faster does not make a person better at math, but it could make them more productive & efficient. That counts 4 something. Right?

  • This report was inaccurate there are games that are developed by neuroscience that actually do FACT, they only reported on random games found all over the internet.
