Increase Brain Power with Food

Certain foods can increase your brain power and can keep you living healthier and longer. And since the brain is a hungry organ in the sense that it is metabolically active, we need to feed it with the right foods for optimal performance. Here are 4 tips for an intelligent diet. 1. Water Our brains are about 80 percent water, so the first rule of brain nutrition is adequate water intake to hydrate your brain. Even slight dehydration can raise stress hormones, which in turn can damage your brain over time. Also, water makes up 83% of human blood and acts as a transport system, delivering nutrients to the brain and eliminating toxins. Water is essential for concentration and mental alertness. 2. Antioxidants A number of studies have shown that dietary intake of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables significantly reduce the risk of developing cognitive impairment (Zandi. [lien] [EN]

New Memory Game: Birdsongs

We are happy to offer this new game for preview to our members. Click here, login and play! Game Description Learn to recognize bird species by their song. You’ll need to discriminate between images of different species of birds and also between different types of songs. At times, these differences may be subtle, which makes this task especially challenging. Cognitive Function Trained This is a cross-modal task mainly involving the right tempo-parietal regions of the brain. The purpose of this game is to draw upon our working memories of visual and auditory characteristics of each bird, to practice visual-spatial scanning of the images on the screen, and to practice concentration for this type of material. In some cases, deductive reasoning is needed in order to choose the right match. [lien] [EN]

Knowing How to Use a Computer Can Be Empowering.

The question often arises whether elderly people who are unfamiliar with computers might become hesitant or discouraged when they attempt to engage in cognitive training exercises. Just the process of mastering computer access, even with just one application, can be a huge confidence building opportunity, which itself boosts brain stimulation. Although elders may need more time, patience and assistance in learning computer systems, many are embracing this new technology. The use of Happy Neuron games via computer is part of the novel experience and learning process that one needs on a daily basis to maintain optimal mental health. It is in itself a cognitive stimulating activity. Furthermore, computers and internet access have been widely argued to be vital to the quality of life of elders. [lien] [EN]

An Interview with Dr. Bernard Croisile, MD.

I thought to share with you a recent interview with Founder Dr. Bernard Croisile, Neurologist, Neuropsychologist and Happy Neuron’s Chief Scientist, about age related brain decline and what can be done. As we age, what issues do people most complain about? When we age, certain cognitive difficulties are usually more annoying than really hindering. These difficulties are usually due to a greater sensitivity to interferences (noise, conversations with several persons), a lesser attention and greater amount of time to simultaneously analyze several pieces of informations (cooking and understanding a slightly technical conversation at the same time). Information processing is often more superficial, organizing and sorting data to be memorized occurs more slowly and producing mental images becomes more difficult. [lien] [EN]
