Why is HAPPYneuron the best brain training program available online for me?

It is now commonly accepted that brain training, as part of a healthy lifestyle, can help keep you sharp and help defer brain decline, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. HAPPYneuron's brain training program offers essential capabilities not found in other brain fitness programs.

HAPPYneuron's program delivers the optimal in brain training solutions and is one-of-a-kind in the world of brain fitness. It is the only cognitive cross program that measures cognitive performance against all the relevant variables of cognitive reserve. With the industry's largest, and continually growing, benchmarked results database, HAPPYneuron offers individuals the most powerful and personalized peer comparisons available in brain training programs. This not only tells you how you are performing cognitively, but how you might be expected to perform when compared with your peers of the same age, gender and education level as you. And there's more ...

Specifically, the key elements of the HAPPYneuron advantage are the following:

• Cross Functional Training: HAPPYneuron delivers in-depth brain training and reporting in all 5 major cognitive functions of Language, Memory, Attention, Visual Spatial Skills and Executive Function. It is scientifically accepted that this approach is the best insurance against brain decline.




• Scientifically Validated: The brain training program is developed by award winning, world renowned, neurologist Dr. Croisile, MD, PhD, & his team of neuro-psychologists and scientific advisors. The efficiency of our brain training program has been validated in a number of studies, both in Europe and North America.




• Variety: For cognitive improvement, the brain demands significant variety. The HAPPYneuron program offers more of it than any other brain training program available through thousands of hours of unique game play delivered through 35 unique exercises with multiple challenge levels and data sets.




• Meaningful Peer Comparisons: With the largest comparative database in the industry (~40M data points as of December 2009), users can very accurately see how their cognitive performance measures up with others of the same age, gender and education level. These three variables are the most important to determine a person's expected cognitive reserve. Other brain training programs may only compare against users of the same age. Such comparisons are insufficient and may be misleading.

• Results: An Average of 16% performance improvement across all cognitive functions has been measured for HAPPYneuron's unique brain training program.



 

• Highly Personalized Supervision: Just like a personal trainer at the gym designs your workout to factor your physical strengths and weaknesses, so does the HAPPYneuron coach for your brain training. The online virtual coach will:

• Challenge: Recommend exercises that are at the right level for your optimal brain training and cognitive improvement. Exercises may be challenging but achievable.

• Adapt: Automatically raises the bar with improvement, lowers the bar with decline and occasionally offers something different to keep users on their toes.

• Customize: To ensure global training with a balanced cross functional workout that factors your cognitive strengths and weaknesses in addition to past performance and exercise types completed.





• Personalized Record of Accomplishment: Users visually see how they are progressing via personalized feedback, charts and graphs that reflect their own activity, their cognitive strengths and challenges, and where they need to work harder.

• Fun: Encourages engagement and entertainment for optimal use of your brain fitness program. What's the point otherwise!

• Easy to use: No software to install, no headsets to configure, no complex charts to interpret, no sessions to attend.

• Affordable: Through cost-effective online delivery, the savings are passed on to you.

• Award Winning: Received many brain training awards and industry recognition

• Global: Supported around the globe, most notably in USA, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Holland, Japan and Korea. Soon in Brazil, Turkey and Czech Republic.

The way to improve is to continually challenge yourself. As you develop your abilities, HAPPYneuron will automatically adapt to your progress and present ever increasing challenges. It is satisfying to succeed quickly and effortlessly, but the key to creating new neural pathways and keeping your mind sharp is to challenge yourself and "push the envelope". Inside games, you'll see our recommendations highlighted by a yellow star as you start each new game. The yellow star designates the level of challenge we believe you are capable of, based on our scientific analysis of your past performance.

Of course, some days you may want to return to a familiar exercise and so you can always elect to override our advice and select an easier level that will lead you to quick success. You always have that option.

As Dr. Bernard Croisile, M.D. Neurology, Ph.D. Neuroscience, claims: "Studies have shown that rich and varied cognitive stimulations can delay the onset of age related brain decline and Alzheimer's disease."

Don't forget that physical exercise, good nutrition, social connection with others, and mental stimulation all play important parts in insuring that our brains remain sharp and agile.
We at HAPPYneuron encourage you to challenge yourself to learn at every opportunity: by learning a new language or a new musical instrument or new and more complex tunes with an old one, reading, dancing, or taking a class. These are all effective tools to keep your mind sharp. We also encourage you to tone and hone your mind with HAPPYneuron games, a quick, brainy workout based on scientific research and developed by respected cognitive scientists. We hope you will become more aware of the thinking skills you need everyday while using them as you play smart at HAPPYneuron.
