Make Your Brain Sweat! HAPPYneuron and Prevention Team Up to Provide Online Brain Games
Scientifically-Proven Brain Fitness Games at www.prevention.com Slow the Effects of Aging
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HAPPYneuron, a leading provider of scientifically-based online cognitive exercises, and Prevention magazine have partnered to bring HAPPYneuron’s brain fitness games to Prevention.com. HAPPYneuron brain games strengthen the five major cognitive brain functions, help slow the natural effects of aging and defer the onset of diseases like Alzheimer’s.
HAPPYneuron brain games are featured online at Prevention.com on the Health channel within a recently expanded “Brain Fitness” category, which also includes the debut of a new monthly online and in magazine column called “Head Coach.” Written by clinical psychologist Thomas Crook, Ph.D., who has done extensive brain research, the column will address ways to keep your brain sharp. Dr. Crook is also a former research program director at the National Institute of Mental Health and CEO of Cognitive Research Corporation in St. Petersburg, FL.
"We are delighted to offer brain fitness games to the Prevention audience and to be associated with such a respected brand,” said Dr. Michel Noir, cognitive psychologist and CEO of HAPPYneuron. “Prevention is a critically important, trusted and credible source of key information for leading a healthy lifestyle. We are confident that Prevention’s audience will benefit greatly from our games."
Said Liz Vaccariello, Editor in Chief of Prevention, “HAPPYneuron games are the best-in-class for mental cross-training. They make your brain sweat, have proven anti-aging benefits – and they’re highly engaging and entertaining. We’re excited to be able to offer these to our users.”
Increasingly, scientific evidence demonstrates that active participation in appropriately designed brain fitness workouts aids mental agility. HAPPYneuron games were developed to simulate these quick calculations in the form of entertaining, online brain games. HAPPYneuron offers more than 25 games and 1,500 hours of game play that target the five major cognitive brain functions of memory, attention, language, executive functions and visual/spatial.
The HAPPYneuron games can be accessed directly at www.prevention.com/braingames and are free to play for Prevention users. The full collection of HAPPYneuron games are available at www.happy-neuron.com for a monthly fee of $9.95 or an annual fee of $99.95.
