Watch Kerry O’Brien interview Norman Doidge author of The Brain That Changes Itself.

“The brain can change itself. It is a plastic, living organ that can actually change its own structure and function, even into old age.”

“Blind people learning to see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brains rejuvenated, painful phantom limbs erased, stroke patients recovering their faculties, children with cerebral palsy learning to move more gracefully, entrenched depression and anxiety disappearing, and lifelong character traits altered.”

No it wasn’t hard, I was really slow and had numerous interruptions.
Some days the brain just likes to take it easy. Here are some more games to help with your neurobics.

Our brain needs exercise as much as our body needs to keep moving. The more fun the greater chance of keeping our “neurobics” going. Don’t want it to become a daily chore, we have enough of those.

My finds won’t be on a daily basis. When I come across a site that I think is worth sharing - I will. They will be free, and hopefully not have too many ads., or be too difficult to understand.

Have FUN !!
