Games for the brain sound like a good idea!!!!

train your brain!!!

But are they really or are they just a waste of time?   we hear a lot about the negative impacts of children playing too many video games, so you must be wondering... why would games for the brain can be good..

Everything in moderation of course, but read on to discover 10 reasons to incorporate brain games into your daily workout routine:

1)       Brain exercise – Brain games challenge our language, math and problem-solving skills in ways that we may not otherwise find in our daily routine.
 
2)   Verbal Skills – Language based brain games help keep your vocabulary strong.  Games for the brain that encourage word finding are particularly beneficial. 
 
 3)     Creativity – Some brain games help stimulate right-brain thinking.  Look for games for the brain that include open-ended problem solving activities.  Think outside the box to solve problem.   At Shirsa, one of our favorites is Color Switch – give it a try.
 
4)     Memory Skills – Research shows that short-term memory skills can be improved by playing games for the brain.  Short-term memory skills can fade without stimulation as we age.  Practice holding new information in your mind and recalling it back.  Play games like Memorica, Memorica swing, Word Bubble to give your memory a workout.
 
 5)    Socialization – Not all games for the brain need to be played on the computer.  Find a friend and get out a deck of cards or the Scrabble board.  Enjoy socializing while you play.
 
6)  Change is good for the brain – Exposing your brain to a variety    of                                     cognitive tasks including online games for the brain can help support neuron growth in the brain.  Novel exercises are key, so change up your crossword puzzle and opt for more mathematical, language, novel games with Shirsa for twice or thrice a week.
 
7)    Hand eye coordination – Studies show that surgeons who played games for the brain a few hours a week had improved accuracy and efficiency during surgery.
 
8)    Stress Relief – Taking a short break to tackle a fun challenge can help you relax and provide a brief distraction from your current frustrations.
 
 
 9)  Pure Fun – Breaking away from your daily work to have fun is both good for your brain and offers you something to look forward to.  Use game time as a reward for completing your current task.
 
10)  Not So costly – There are many good  brain games available online or with a simple deck of cards.  Building a brain-healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to buy costly package.  Work to make small changes each day and enjoy some exercises with Shrisa

How Do I know Which Exercises To Use In Shirsa?

Think about what you most want to improve: your Memory, Attention, Brain Speed, Critical thinking, and Problem solving. 

Shirsa Exercises

Start with the exercises in that category. Please note, however, that the exercises are complementary, and working in one category will likely enhance benefits in another domain. 

We often recommend that people begin with Brain Speed, since increasing the speed with which the brain can work with information is the foundation for all other cognitive skills.

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 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!
