From todays (7/16) Mail Tribune:
Brain-training games don’t work, a study suggests
"The first large study to rigorously examine braintraining games using cognitive tests and brain imaging adds to evidence that they are not particularly good at training brains and appear to have no more effect on healthy brains than video games."
Long article. Now, cut to near the end.
"The new study does not say these games won’t help aging adults, Lerman was careful to note. Any activity that requires playing close attention flexes our ECN, and it’s possible that older people may benefit from such exercises"
