Includes one Ice Blue Nintendo DS Hardware, Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! and a Carrying Case. Give your gray matter the workout that it needs! Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is inspired by research conducted by Professor Ryuta Kawashima, a prominent Japanese neuroscientist. His theories revolve around keeping your brain “young” by performing certain mental activities quickly. Work that brain! The title is a series of minigames designed to give your brain a workout. Activities include performing simply math problems, counting people going in and out of a house, drawing pictures on the Touch Screen, and reading classic literature out loud. When you start a new game, you will take a series of testes and get a score that shows your “DS Brain Age. As you use the software, your in-game Brain Age will drop. Check on family and friends. You can keep up to four save files on one Game Card – sharing a game allows you to compare your results with those of family and friends. (You might even get a look at one of their pictures!) You can also send a demo version of the title to friends or compete with up to 16 players in a battle to see who can solve math problems the fastest!
