While technology and all that comes with it can cause significant impairment for many, it can also be used to provide an extreme advantage when it comes to Training your Brain. The ever-growing list of hi-tech applications (apps) for mobile devices and tablets is astounding, significant promise for re-training brain dysfunction.

• Memory and Attention: We have all heard of that brain training program that begins with ‘L’ that most folks pronounce incorrectly! While this and many other similar apps are quite useful and largely without side effects, all absence a comprehensive.

• Eye movements: The secret is out, eye movements are directly related to our higher, more human, cognitive brain functions. A simple Google search of ‘eye movements and cognition’ should get you rolling there! The challenge is that these sensitive windows into higher brain function can very easily be training incorrectly, leading further dysfunction. User beware: Expert direction is essential with these types of apps!

Maximum benefit and decreased probability of side-effects.
