<p>Has anyone tried any of those "brain fitness programs" that claim to improve memory, concentration, reaction time, etc and backed by some science?</p>
<p>I haven't tried any myself, but I'm considering using Lumosity over the summer to combat the summer brain drain.</p>
<p>Just learn a language, or read novels. It’ll be more interesting and “combat the summer brain drain.”</p>
<p>These kinds of programs are specifically designed to boost specific cognitive skills. I have no idea if it works, but if it works, it could be potentially be more useful for short practice sessions than traditional training.</p>
<p>^ I’d read novels and such anyway for fun. As for learning a language, I’d love to, but it seems so hard. Any suggestions on how to learn a language well?</p>
<p>Eat with your non-dominant hand. It’s an easy way to connect more neurons in your brain.</p>
<p>^I should do that the day before the SAT, or eat breakfast that morning with my left hand…</p>
<p>people say that if you read something with one eyed (and the other closed), and then read it again this time with the other eye open (and the other one closed), you’ll remember it better</p>

<p>I play Fifa 10, it helps stimulate my brain.</p>
<p>^Word, all the large foreign names that NMT doesn’t seem to enjoy make me smarter.</p>
<p>COD helps stimulate my brain.</p>
<p>Best Puzzle Game Series Ever: Professor Layton. Try the puzzles. They’re all fun and amazing and sometimes annoyingly difficult and the plot and music are awesome.</p>
<p>^^ COD drastically improves ones reaction time and concentration, as well as expanding the brain’s capacity to assess, analyze and make a decision with celerity.</p>
<p>^too bad most of the tards on that game can’t apply that to real life Jersey.</p>
