Are You
Forgetting things much more often than you used to Forgetting
how to do things you've done many times before Trouble learning
new things Repeating phrases or stories in the same conversation Trouble
making choices or handling money Not being able
to keep track of what happens each day forgetting where
you left things you use regularly, such as glasses or
keys forgetting names
of acquaintances or figures in the news occasionally
forgetting an appointment having trouble remembering what you just read walking
into a room and forgetting why you entered forgetting the
details of conversations becoming easily distracted not quite being
able to retrieve information you have “on the tip of
your tongue” Blocking
one memory with a similar one, such as calling a grandson
by your son’s name
memory lapses are normal among older adults,,,
But you can improve your memory...
A great new brain-fitness program has just been released!
MindFit software turns your PC into a "fitness room" for you brain.
With just 20 minutes a day 3 times a week, you will experience
increased mental vitality and enhanced abilities in many areas
of thinking.
Mindfit begins by measuring your mental abilities on a wide range
of important cognitive skills. Using the results as a baseline,
the program creates a personalized training program designed to
increase your brain power
The programming behind these personalized training programs was
developed by an eminent psychologist and uses an innovative patented
technology. Because no two people are alike, each training sessions
is uniquely your own.
I
was very apprehensive about the program. I was afraid it
would be something of an IQ test and that I might feel
really stupid. But the program is nothing like that at
all. The exercises are fun. I've only completed the first
one, and I'm anxious to start the second one. I'm confident
that my memory and attention will improve. My mother has
Alzheimer's. I'm hoping MindFit will prevent or, at the
very least, delay a decline in my cognitive skills.

The results of the training program are increased mental vitality.
Your brain gets enhanced in areas of mental ability which include
visual search, time estimation, naming, categorization, visual
short term memory, auditory short term memory, location memory,
spatial orientation, planning, ability to inhibit planned action,
speed of reaction and hand-eye coordination and many more.
Our impressions while using this software is that it is a system
that
"learns" about you through your performance, customizes your training
schedule, and responds to your performance both during and at the
end of your training.
Here is an excerpt from a report of the a new experimental study
done with Mindfit:
NEW YORK and YOQNEAM, Israel, March 16- For the first
time, a double-blind clinical trial has shown that computer-based
training improves the cognitive functions of the 50-plus
crowd. Against conventional wisdom, the computer training
in MindFit cognitive skill assessment and training software,
created by CogniFit, Ltd. was found to improve short-term
memory, spatial relations and attention focus--all skills
used in driving and other daily activities that maintain
our independence as we age.
These research findings show unequivocally that MindFit,
which requires no previous computer experience of users,
keeps minds sharper than other computer games and software
can," said Prof. Shlomo Breznitz, Ph.D., founder and president
of CogniFit. "In fact, the same cognitive domains that
MindFit keeps sharp are also central in most daily activities-including
driving-that enable aging independently.
Breznitz continued, "These findings support CogniFit's belief
that if you exercise your brain just as you do your muscles, you
can build the speed and accuracy of your mental functions, significantly.
'Working out' with MindFit three times a week from the comfort
of your home will yield similar results for your brain as exercising
at the gym with that same frequency does for your muscles.
I'm not sure I have the words to express my appreciation
for this program.
I am 45 years old and have dementia. I know what I was capable
of doing almost 3 years ago and know that I cannot do a fraction
of the same tasks now.
After doing the program's evaluation, I was shocked
with the tasks that I was finding difficult to do. As
I am doing my daily lessons, I can see how I did compared
to the last time I did it.
To me, this program is invaluable! I am so grateful
to have it. I can now do the lessons to keep my brain
functioning, measure how I am doing and measure the rate
at which my condition is worsening.
I would recommend this program to anyone to keep their
mind more fit as well as to anyone and everyone with
any type of dementia or brain injury.
Here are some three demos that feature a few of MindFits
training programs>
The "Inside and Outside"
Task trains your ability to divide your attention between two
or more visual stimuli. In daily life we normally manage several
attention channels simultaneously. As we drive, for example, aside
from handling the car, we pay attention to the road and traffic
conditions, we usually also listen to the radio and talk with our
companions (or on the mobile phone). When watching TV, we listen
and watch, converse, think and react. The
"Inside and Outside" task focuses on improving an individual’s
divided attention skills Visit this link for the demo
"The "Two in One" Task trains your ability to
perform two tasks simultaneously. In daily life we are often
required to carry out more than one assignment at a time.
A typist reads and types simultaneously and tries to do both
tasks as accurately as possible. A driver needs to look in
the mirror while driving backwards. We often answer the phone
while we continue doing our ongoing duties. The 'Two In One'
task exercises the ability to perform such tasks quickly
and accurately.
The software is designed by a eminent psychologist to create individualized
training programs covering a wide range of the most important cognitive
skills. It is easy-to-use, mentally stimulating, and very effective.
MindFit could turn out to be the key to your mental vitality-
The "Picasso" Task trains visual short term
memory as well as synthesis ability- the ability to rebuild
a pattern from given parts. In daily life, we often have
separate elements that we need to combine into a pattern.
For example, when we assemble a new device, cook something
by following a recipe, or build something from a kit, we
need to join different bits of information in a logical way.
The “Picasso” task focuses on improving an individual’s ability
to synthesize information.
I have now installed it and I really enjoy doing these exercises.
They seem simple and yet difficult at the same time, but
really keep you alert. I do enjoy them greatly.
Sincerely,
Kris

Clinical Trial Finds MindFit Software
Significantly Improves Short-Term Memory, Spatial Relations
and Attention Focus in Baby Boomers, Seniors
Results Announced Today at Eighth International Alzheimer's
Disease/Parkinson's Disease Conference in Salzburg, Austria
NEW YORK and YOQNEAM, Israel, March 16 /PRNewswire/ --
For the first
time, a double-blind clinical trial has shown that computer-based
training improves the cognitive functions of the 50-plus
crowd.
Against conventional wisdom, the computer training in MindFit(tm)
cognitive skill assessment and training software, created
by CogniFit, Ltd.
, was found to improve short-term memory, spatial relations
and attention focus--all skills used in driving and other
daily activities that maintain our independence as we age.
The trial was conducted at the Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical
Center of Tel- Aviv University in Israel, where researchers
are taking a leading role in the study of age-related disorders.
During the two-year clinical trial, doctors conducted a
prospective, randomized, double-blind study with active
comparators of 121 self-referred volunteer participants
age 50 and older.
Each study participant was randomly assigned to spend 30
minutes, three times a week during the course of three
months at home, using either MindFit or sophisticated computer
games.
While all study participants benefited from the use of
computer games, MindFit users experienced greater improvement
in the cognitive domains of spatial short term memory,
visuo-spatial learning and focused attention. Additionally,
MindFit users in the study with lower baseline cognitive
performance gained more than those with normal cognition,
showing the potential therapeutic effect of home-based
computer training software in those already suffering the
effects of aging or more serious diseases.
"These research findings show unequivocally that MindFit,
which requires no previous computer experience of users,
keeps minds sharper than other computer games and software
can,"
said Prof. Shlomo Breznitz, Ph.D., founder and president
of CogniFit. "In fact, the same cognitive domains that
MindFit keeps sharp are also central in most daily activities-including
driving-that enable aging independently." Breznitz continued, "These
findings support CogniFit's belief that if you exercise
your brain just as you do your muscles, you can build the
speed and accuracy of your mental functions, significantly.
'Working out' with MindFit three times a week from the
comfort of your home will yield similar results for your
brain as exercising at the gym with that same
frequency does for your muscles.""We are additionally encouraged
by the implications of our findings for those already below
baseline in cognitive performance," said Nir Giladi, M.D.,
principal investigator, senior neurologist for the Department
of
Neurology for Tel-Aviv University's Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical
Center and faculty member in Tel-Aviv University's Sackler
School of Medicine. "In the future, we may research MindFit's
effect on Alzheimer's disease and forms of dementia."
MindFit software helps to assess and build overall cognitive
skills for baby boomers, seniors and people of all ages.
In other research studies, MindFit has helped users to
improve their short-term memory by 18 percent.
The comprehensive cognitive training program assesses,
trains and enhances cognitive skills--including memory,
focus, learning and concentration--and safeguards overall
cognitive vitality, an overall concept patented by CogniFit.
After an initial assessment session, users are encouraged
to train with the software on their home PCs three times
a week for 20 minutes a day. Then, MindFit provides fun,
individualized training to match users' unique cognitive
skill sets, changing exercises and levels to suit each
individual's unique needs. No other cognitive assessment
or training software product on the market has that personally
tailoring technology.
Earlier in March, MindFit was recognized with a
2007 American Society
on Aging Business and Aging Award.
Researchers announced their findings in Salzburg, Austria
at the Eighth
International Conference AD/PD 2007, "Alzheimer's Disease
and Parkinson's Disease: Progress and New Perspectives," which
will be held in Salzburg, Austria on Friday, March 16.
