The study involved more than 600 pupils in 32 schools across Scotland using the Brain Training from Dr Kawashima game on the Nintendo DS every day. Researchers found that while all groups had improved their scores, the group using the game had improved by a further 50%. The time taken to complete the tests also dropped by five minutes, from 18.5 minutes to 13.5 minutes. The improvement in the games group was double that of the control group.

IMO, once parents (like me) see this kind of study, they are going to buy Brain Age games in droves. It is a pity that we stopped trading Brain Age games in simEx. I think we will some new Training game from Nintendo in the future. Math Training anyone ?
