Nintendo has released a new brain puzzle game called Brain Age for the Nintendo DS handheld gaming system. Containing numerous mentally challenging puzzles that require speaking, writing and mental calculation, Brain Age is meant to exercise the mind, much like going to a fitness club exercises your muscles.
The game is based on the research of neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, who found that certain mental exercises can liven up the dormant areas of the brain and keep you smart, Nintendo said. Players try the puzzles and are then given the approximate age of their brain. The sometimes shocking results are saved and charted, allowing people to compare with their friends.
