Give your gray matter the workout that it needs to stay sharp and focused. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is inspired by the research of Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, a prominent Japanese neuroscientist. His theories revolve around keeping brains stimulated by performing mental activities quickly.

• Brain Age is a series of exercises designed to give brains a workout. Activities include performing math problems, counting people going in and out of a house, drawing pictures on the touch screen and reading classic literature out loud.
• When users start a new game, they will take a series of tests that determine their brain age within the game. This number is called the “DS brain age.” As the player uses the software over a series weeks and months, their ability to perform the exercises will improve and their DS brain age will decrease. Progress is charted in graph form.
• Users can keep up to four save files on one game card. Sharing a game allows them to compare their results with those of family and friends. Users also can send a demo version of Brain Age to friends or compete with up to 16 players in a battle to see who can solve math problems the fastest.
• Brain Age also includes more than 100 sudoku puzzles, which are among the most popular types of brain-challenging puzzles in the world.
