Product Description
The Brain Fitness Program is based on the brain's ability to change and adapt, even rewire itself. In the past two years, a team of scientists has developed computer-based stimulus sets that drive beneficial chemical, physical and functional changes in the brain. Dr. Michael Merzenich of the University of California and his colleagues share their scientifically-based set of brain exercises in this life-altering program.

3 out of 5 stars Brain Training   October 25, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I was a little disappointed in that I thought the DVD would give specific exercises to do to enhance the working power of my brain. It did in a general way, but left the rest up to me to find new ideas of brain useage. When one is already doing all the things one enjoys it is hard to think of, or find time, to include any more activities.
The tape was very informative and certainly gives one food for thought. Maybe I was just looking for the wrong information. It has got me thinking along different lines, where that will lead to I do not know.

I really love this program. I am studying nauroscience and nauroplasticity and this program helps me so much to more understanding of my study.


3 out of 5 stars Balance Sticks for Brain Fitness   July 30, 2008
  0 out of 6 found this review helpful

The Brain Fitness series on PBS was packed full of information that supported the work I do with clients in the field of Therapeutic Recreation.

I use and supply a brain exercise instrument that is not only good for your brain and your body but it is fun for all ages and abilities! For $25 - $50 you can get a set of Balance Sticks for real Brain Fitness and an instructional video at www.simplyamazingkids.com. Navagate through my web pages and you will see the scientific and therapeutic connection to my work and the Brain Fitness series on PBS.



5 out of 5 stars Everyone with a Brain should see this!!   July 16, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is good regarding the anatomy of a brain but even better regarding the ability to develop the brain. It is most encouraging not only in recovering from injury or disease but offsetting age related development syndromes.


1 out of 5 stars I agree with an earlier reviewer, a rip-off.   July 13, 2008

The DVD is a repeat of the PBS program, which was good, but has nothing to do with exercising your brain.
A very misleading sales statement
