Here is a link to information about exercises for training, retraining and sharpening the brain.

You can look at that web page to get an idea of what the exercises are like. Without looking at the page, here is a description of some that I recall doing recently. Before the Brain HQ web site was developed, there were two Posit Science products, the first aimed at hearning and the second for vision. The very first exercise Iever did was sound sweeps. There is a pair of sounds and the exercise is to say whether the first sound was falling in pitch or rising, ditto for the second sound. Maybe it happens to everybody but after a few, I get a little mixed up as to just what I heard. The exercise can include very short sounds that are over so quickly you have to more or less remember what you heard to answer. Doing that again a day ago, I felt as though it was 7 years ago and I was back doing my first run though the program.
Some of the vision exercises are some number of balls circling in space like fish in an aquarium. After a few seconds, additional balls of identical appearance pop up and the exercise is to stay aware of where the originals are in the swarm. They don't stay together and get all intermingled with the new ones, even though all are the same in appearance.
Lynn found that her dreams were more positive and upbeat during the weeks of working on the exercises. I found that I felt happier and more optimistic doing them. So, we enjoyed doing them and getting back to them.
