Is Shirsa Proven To Work? Have Studies Been Published?


Shirsa Proven to Work
Yes. Dozens of journal articles supports the impact of  brain training exercises on normal aging adults. 
These indicate that the Shirsa not only improves key standard measures of cognitive function (including speed and accuracy of processing, attention, and memory), they also improve key standard measures of quality of life (including health-related quality of life, feelings of control, depressive symptoms, and functional independence).

How Does Shirsa Achieve These Benefits?


Shirsa's exercises are based on a handful of powerful ideas. Unlike previous cognitive training, they do not try to fix a problem by practicing it—they don’t improve memory by practicing memory. 

Rewiring the Brain
Instead, the exercises start with elemental cognitive function by first improving the speed and accuracy of your sensory perceptions. This becomes the foundation for improved attention. Improved attention is the building block of working memory, and working memory is the building block of much else—immediate memory, delayed memory, episodic memory, executive function, reasoning, speech and language, visual-spatial skills, and so on. No one has taken this complete bottom-up approach to cognitive training before.

In addition, our scientists are experts in brain plasticity, the ability of the brain to re-wire and change. Each exercise draws on what experts have learned in recent years about driving change in the brain.

Training must be focused on improving speed to meet real-world conditions; it must intensively and progressively improve accuracy; it must adapt continuously and minutely (by thousandths of a second) to each person’s performance; it must be designed so the task gradually generalizes to real-world experience; it must be engaging in a way that stimulates neurotransmitters (chemicals in the brain that enhance attention, learning and mood) and that brings you back to do the exercises again and again.

How Can Brain Fitness Exercises Improve My People Skills?


people's skills

We all want to feel sharp and confident in social situations. But sometimes our brains don’t cooperate. We might not remember what a friend told us, forget names we should know, or have trouble understanding other people’s intentions, body language, or tone of voice.


These exercises can change that. They are designed to speed up and sharpen the brain structure responsible for processing, storing, and remembering information that comes in handy in the social situations we all face every day.


Use Shirsa exercise to feel more tuned in to people around you for more successful and rewarding social interactions!

How Do Brain Exercises Help My Memory?

Memory
Memories are made up of what you sense – especially what you see and hear. When memory fails, it’s not because you forgot how to remember. It’s  because your brain isn’t processing what you see and hear very clearly, so can only store “fuzzy” pictures of an event.

Shirsa exercises improve your brain’s recording of what you see and hear. That helps your brain create memory during the event, making it easier to recall later.

It’s like tuning up a radio – if your radio is in tune, you can hear a song clearly and remember its lyrics. If it’s full of static, it’s hard to remember.

Shirsa  exercise tune up your brain!

How Does Attention Relate To Brain Fitness?


Attention
Does it drive you crazy when you can’t remember where you put your keys? You probably weren’t paying much attention when you set them down.

When You really pay attention to something, you remember it better. Focusing your attention causes your barin to rlease special chemicals that strengthen learning and memory. It’s one of the clever ways your brain keeps track of what matters to you, and lets go of what doesn’t.

It’s all too easy to pay less attention than we intend to. We get out of practice. Re-training your brain to focus better is a key part of improving memory!

Why should I exercise my brain speed?


When it comes to brain speed, every millisecond counts. How quickly your brain can process events around you determines how effectively you can react to and remember those events.
But with age (and certain cognitive conditions), the brain slows down. This slowing is minute, but can have major effects. When you’re driving, for example, a few milliseconds is all it might take to turn a near miss into a bad crash.
Brain speed affects memory, too. A slower brain is a “fuzzier” brain it has trouble creating and storing clear pictures of what you see, hear, and otherwise sense. That affects your ability to remember clearly later.
