Comment on “Brain Training” games don’t work by S.Louis

the effectiveness of brain games related to brain fitness is a topic of ongoing research. It all starts with the question: how do you measure the effectiveness ? We offer online brain training games on our website http://www.braingymmer.com, dedicated as we are to making the most effective brain training games on the planet we find the question “do brain training games really work ? ” very interesting of course. We work together with universities here in the Netherlands to research this. There is also another angle: if you ask the users of our BrainGymmer product if they find they experience improved memory, visual perception etc , there is a large proportion of users that report improved cognitive skills. They are less forgetful, or can concentrate better at work. This may not be a meaasured improved, but nevertheless this perceived improvement of brain fitness is extremely valuable and i am convinced there is a large group of people for which this kind of brain training really works to improve brain fitness.

Train your brain to alleviate pain
According to the research, lingering or chronic pain may be the result of neuronal and non-neuronal dysregulation that results from the original insult to the body, that is the accident or injury itself. These structures and substructures are outside the more conventional pain management strategies of physical or phamacological interventions and thus are not likely to be re-regulated with traditional rehabilitation. The bottom line is the pain signalling to the point of injury is not completely or adequately disengaged in the regular rehabilitation and healing process resulting in the lingering pain.

in fact, chronic pain has been shown on fMRI studies to create many other complications relevant to sports athletes including compromises in their focus, attention, concentration, judgement, mental and muscular acutity. That means they are not just "off their game" or unable to "get in the zone," they are in jeapordy of creating more permanent neuronal distortions in the frontal lobes of the brain where the executive functioning takes place.
[ So an on the field injury can have more long term and far reaching consequences not addressed in conventional rehabilitation, physical therapy, the use of metronome therapy, traditional biofeedback, or neurofeedback alone.
These neuronal and non-neuronal structures (e.g., astrocytes) require a means by which they can come back into a global synchronization, which includes cortical and subcortical structures along with those ascending and descending networks of the brainstem, central, autonomic, and peripheral nervous systems.
Without this global re-synchronization, complete recovery is much slower if not severly hindered.

[...] Leave a comment In the news today, a recent study suggests that by keeping happy you may ward off heart disease. Does this mean that there is truth in the saying that someone is “heart-broken”? (This is another story along the similar line on which I blogged last year - Meditation eases heart disease) [...]
