EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
The Brain Fitness Program is based on the brain's ability to change and adapt, even rewire itself. In the past two years, a team of scientists has developed computer-based stimulus sets that drive beneficial chemical, physical and functional changes in the brain. Dr. Michael Merzenich of the University of California and his colleagues share their scientifically-based set of brain exercises in this life-altering program.

The brain fittness  
I really love this program. I am studying nauroscience and nauroplasticity and this program helps me so much to more understanding of my study.

Balance Sticks for Brain Fitness  
The Brain Fitness series on PBS was packed full of information that supported the work I do with clients in the field of Therapeutic Recreation.

I use and supply a brain exercise instrument that is not only good for your brain and your body but it is fun for all ages and abilities! For $25 - $50 you can get a set of Balance Sticks for real Brain Fitness and an instructional video at www.simplyamazingkids.com. Navagate through my web pages and you will see the scientific and therapeutic connection to my work and the Brain Fitness series on PBS.

Everyone with a Brain should see this!!  
This is good regarding the anatomy of a brain but even better regarding the ability to develop the brain. It is most encouraging not only in recovering from injury or disease but offsetting age related development syndromes.

I agree with an earlier reviewer, a rip-off.  
The DVD is a repeat of the PBS program, which was good, but has nothing to do with exercising your brain.
A very misleading sales statement

The DVD is incredible; lots of insightful features. The mind truly is an amazing thing!
