Abstract
Although some studies have been carried out about brain
training exercises there is little proof that using tools
like computer games or any other mental training devices
could train our brain or delay the age related decline in
cognitive abilities. Even so, electronic game producers
have been active in designing special brain training
software and computer games for aging persons who have
not been too interested in computer games before. This
paper describes user experiences of one of those
commercial brain training games.
