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.

 Great Video - Get a Life - Good for Seniors March 8, 2008
B. Mitchell (adirondacks, ny)

This DVD is a bargin, especially for seniors like myself.
In my opinion, applying these findings to one's life style is one of the best ways to stay young and engaged.
I could not digest all this information in one viewing so the dvd really comes in handy because one of the foundations in learning new skills is repetition.
The DVD shows that science can now provide images of what parts of the brain are engaged when the subject is performing various mental tasks. I found is really interesting as it provides more facts about how our brains actually work. My hearing could be better, but I turned captioning off on the TV (my eyes were replacing my ears). Now i try harder with my ears, ha,ha.
Yeah! New challanges for learning; I recently got a new digital camera and find that the more I use it the more motivated I become in learning how to take and make great images and then view them in hidef on the new TV. Build those synapse connections! Yeah.
One last point, the program stresses keeping your heart strong. I hike 3-4 miles every day, its not hard once one gets out, yes, it does take time, but my dog and camera come along also, so its not boring (for me), and I see and enjoy much more walking than I ever did driving.
Brain Neuroplasticity milestone April 7, 2008

This DVD describes the new important field of brain neuroplasticity, with both theory and more practical examples in more different application areas in a non-jargon laden conversational manner, presented by many neuroscientists. It's a pleasure to view and learn this extremely useful medical infomation. The information is so dense, you may have to view it repeatedly.
Brain Aging April 18, 2008

I have PTSD from Vietnam. Understanding what is happening inside my head has helped me to cope with some of my aging abonormalites. I found the DVD very interesting. Perhaps because , I enjoy psychology. I suggest each individual never stop using brain energy and continue to excerise the mind like a self made computer.

Everyone with a Brain should see this!! July 16, 2008
twoshirts (California where our farmers feed the world)
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.
