Overview

Keep your brain sharp and in shape with Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? Inspired by the theories of neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, Brain Training is a collection of simple daily exercises that helps stimulate the brain and keep it young. When you first start Brain Training, you will be asked for your date of birth and to confirm whether you are right or left-handed. Then your current score in the form of a ‘DS Brain Age’ is determined by a quick test which measures the speed and accuracy with which you perform the exercises. Once you have confirmed your Brain Age, it’s time to start training your mind to improve your score. Brain Training includes more than a dozen different numerical and verbal exercises which are designed to be played for just a few minutes a day. A built-in calendar tracks your progress and you get a ‘stamp’ for completing each day’s exercises.

General
Description Brain Training also features sudoku for when you want a break from training. Normally played with a pen and paper, sudoku is played on Nintendo DS using the stylus. Numbers can be written on the Touch Screen and you can also make notes along the edge of the grid, like in the paper-based puzzle. There are three difficulty levels of puzzle available and also a tutorial mode for players who are new to sudoku. The unique technology contained within Nintendo DS is what makes Brain Training possible. Nintendo DS has two screens - the lower of which is touch-sensitive. By holding the system sideways, like a book, users can write on the Touch Screen with the stylus as if you were writing with pen and paper. (Left-handed users can turn the Nintendo DS around so that the Touch Screen is on the left side). Nintendo DS also features an in-built microphone so you can perform some of the exercises simply by speaking. Plus, Nintendo DS’s wireless communication technology allows for up to 16 people to take part in a Calculation Battle using just one copy of the game. It is also possible to send a demo version of the game to another Nintendo DS.
