Review: Brain Challenge (iPhone App)

One of the best things you can do for your brain is to dedicate at least 15 minutes a day for invigorating mental stimulation. Reading informative literature is one simple way for you to improve the efficiency of your brain. Denser readings that take more comprehension to digest and process into the brain can create the kind of mental stimulus that is beneficial to a higher functioning brain.  Crossword puzzles are another great tool you can use to create more activity in your brain thereby, reinforcing the synaptic transmissions between your neurons.

It seems the iPhone has come out with a plethora of applications to meet the needs for almost anyone and anything.  This includes a brain building application/game called Brain Challenge.  I’ve played a few of the iPhone Apps that were geared toward stimulating the brain and Brain Challenge was the only one that stood out to me. The graphical interface is very intuitive and full of an array of enticing brain stimulating activities. Brain Challenge applies a Daily Test for you to measure up how you’ve been performing. Your first Daily Test results will serve as a benchmark from which you can use to better your scores on a progressive basis. The Training Room is divided into 2 categories: Brain Training and Stress Training. The Brain Training section is filled with Logic, Math, Memory, Visual and Focus games. The Stress Training consists of Authority, Multitask, and Physical. As you can see, Brain Challenge is a comprehensive program that challenges and stimulates the brain on various levels of thinking.

One really nice feature of Brain Challenge are the Brain and Stress Charts. The charts make it fun and easy to visualize your progress and is also effective in determining what areas you may need to focus more attention. Brain Challenge makes mental stimulation fun and challenging at the same time.

For those of you who don’t have an iPhone, there is a Brain Teasers section on the right side of this page. I’ve sifted through hundreds of brain teaser sites and found these 3 to be the most beneficial and enriching. So, whatever your fancy; reading, crosswords, Brain Challenge, make sure you stimulate that brain of yours for at least 15 minutes a day.
