Cognitive Health
Categories: Personality/PsychologyDid you know that your brain ages as you grow older? CognitiveLabs has put together some excellent tests and games to analyze (and improve) your memory, reaction time, and a variety of other facets of your brain activity. You can do most of them for free, or you can pay under $20 to have reports created, tracking done, and even have reminders sent out to you to take the tests again. More tests are because Stanford research studies have found that being mentally challenged (as opposed to “mentally challenged”) in a variety of ways helps keep your brain young. Yes, you can even “lower” your brain age! “Scientists believe building mental acuity through cognitive workouts acts like a buffer against decline.”
Cognitive Labs is now the world’s largest website dedicated to cognitive health. If you just want to read more about the research, they have links to reports, studies, etc., that can give you much more information. Visit http://cognitivelabs.com/ to get to all this information, as well as the tests, games, puzzles, etc.

In principle it’s easy, but they also have a countdown clock running, which puts more pressure on you. As the puzzles progress, it gets harder and you have to be faster. [...]
