On the science of cognitive trainingWe take seriously the recommendations of the Expert Concensus on Brain Health (see: news release, concensus document), provided by the Stanford Center on Longevity on behalf of 30 of the world's finest cognitive and brain scientists. Key among these are: - The need for more independent and peer reviewed scientific investigation into promising cognitive intervention techniques.
- The need for clinical trials to investigate the potential of software-based cognitive training.
- Emphasis on the importance of physical health, especially blood pressure and blood sugar, for cognitive performance.
- Cognitive enhancement that is stimulating and socially meaningful by participating in one's community and exploring one's passions.
- Physical exercise as a promising approach to cognitive improvement.
