Title: I showed my supervisor Brain Age. Then I laughed at her Brain Age.
Post by: JonLeung on July 25, 2006, 10:47:19 AM
She was talking about her bad memory last week, so I mentioned Brain Age and how it seems to be really helping my memory. Over the weekend, she stumbled upon an ad for Brain Age in a fitness magazine and was further intrigued.
So I brought it to work today to show her.
She got a 63 (she's not near that actual age).
I laughed.
At her.
Am I mean?
But now she's definitely getting a DS Lite and Brain Age. I have helped spread the word!

Hey, my Brain Age the first time I did it was in the low sixties. It doesn't mean anything. The next time I did it, it was in the high 30s. Since then, I haven't been above 30, typically scoring in the mid 20s (my actual age) with hitting the coveted 20 on a regular basis (depending on which of the random tests it gives.
On a side note, I don't think I've ever been able to score better than a Brain Age of 26 when Speed Counting is involved. I think that exercise is horribly broken.

I'm 26, getting between 20-26 is pretty common for me, though I had one really bad day where I got 33.
I have trouble getting 20 when Stroop Test is involved. I think THAT is broken. My mom, co-worker, and supervisor all seem to have trouble with BLUE.
Blue! Bloo! Buh-loo! Bluuuuuuue! Bloooooohoooh!

hold the DS a little bit farther away. And I mean almost arms length.

It never recognises my yellow, that's the only one I have a problem with. I just chose other tests in it though. Calculations x 20, the maze one and the one with the numbers and colours that throb and bounce around.
Whenever I boot up Brain Age, I get a great score in Calculations x 20 the first time I play, then when I play it in the Brain Age test i'm about 6 seconds off the time I just got. Anyone else notice this happens to them? It keeps costing me an age of 20. I've been hovering at 21 for ages, after just a few 20s.

Heh, the same thing happened to us. I told her to just give up and say orange. Amazingly it worked!! But just that one time. She tried it the next blue and didn't work. It was quite amusing.
