Doctors advise Brain Age on the DS

Posted on Tuesday, 7 March 2006 by Rian, source: next-gen.biz
Brain Age has taken Japan in its grasp! This simple, but rather wierd game, has turned into real success in Japan! It all starts from the idea that the ideal age of a human brain is about 20 years old.

The less frequently you use them, the older your brains become. A small trick is to excercise them no less than ten minutes every day. And that's about all this game has to offer: 10 minutes of questions. Nothing more; nothing less.

Japanese doctors are now handing out DS handhelds in public hospitals to keep people 'active':

An Associated Press report today states that hospitals are renting out DS units to patients. Atsuko Uchida, an administrator at Kyoto's Uchida Hospital said, "We've made ten Nintendo DS's available and they're almost always rented out."

The hospital runs a special clinic for patients suffering dementia. Doctors there have suggested that elderly people purchase the game in order to keep their minds busy. They say it also helps as a form of self-diagnosis.

The doctors admit that the game won't heal; but it might just stimulate them enough to prevent further fallback. Especially for old people who live alone.
