TreoCentral has reviewed the Advanced Brain Trainer Edition 1. "When it comes to physical fitness, the options available for developing ourselves are legion. We can choose from aerobics, weight training, jogging, yoga—the list goes on and on. Oddly, when it comes to enhancing mental fitness, suggesting a similar developmental approach of progressive conditioning courts skepticism. But since the Nineties, a number of researchers have argued that a systematic program of brain exercise can enhance mental performance in the manner that aerobics enhances physical performance. In Japan, Dr. Ryuta Kawashima hit a nerve with an exposition of this theory in his bestselling book, Train Your Brain: 60 Days to a Better Brain. Nintendo productized the book’s concepts and content into Brain Age, a blockbuster series of training games for the Nintendo DS and the Wii."
