Nintendo DS Dr Kawashimas's Brain Training How Old Is Your Brain?

For decades Nintendo has been exercising your thumbs. Now they're going to exercise your mind.

Exercise Your Brain

Exercise is the key to good health, both for body and mind-and now there's finally a way to make mental exercise simple, fun, even competitive. Inspired by the work of prominent Japanese neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, Brain Training features activities designed to help stimulate your brain and give it the workout it needs like solving simple math problems, counting people going in and out of a house simultaneously, drawing pictures on the Nintendo DS touch screen, and reading classic literature out loud.

You'll need the Nintendo DS handheld game system to play Brain Training. The Nintendo DS is available wherever video games and most home entertainment products are sold. The Nintendo DS and Brain Training are sold separately.

With the Nintendo DS handheld game system, playing Brain Training is easy! The touch screen lets users write their answers with a Stylus pen, as if they were writing on paper or using a Palm Pilot. And, with Nintendo DS's voice recognition technology, Brain Training can identify particular words you'll speak during certain activities.

The first time you play Brain Training, you'll take a series of tests and get a score that determines your DS brain age.Brain Training tracks your progression with easy-to-read line charts so you always know how well you're doing. By using Brain Training just minutes a day, the better you'll get at the exercises and the lower your DS Brain Age will become.
