Majesco hit bargain paydirt by adapting Japanese hit Cooking Mama, a fun little cooking sim, to the US market . Now it tries the same approach with Brain Boost: Beta Wave and sister game Brain Boost: Gamma Wave.

Features

  • Based on Makoto Shichida's "right brain development theory"
  • Includes five different types of progressively difficult brain training games where speed and accuracy count: Find the Match, Shape Recognition, Addition, Remember Sequence and Moving Dots
  • Two game modes: Training and Challenge
  • Each game type contains 4 levels with 20 problems in each. Achieve 50% in Training levels and 60% in Challenge levels to progress
  • Identify the correct answer from four multiple choice options
  • Score points for correct answers and earn bonus points for time remaining on the clock
  • Receive your overall score for right brain development after completing a Training series
Brain Boost Beta Wave is designed to improve memory, concentration and judgment by utilizing Makoto Shichida’s "right brain development theory." The right brain generally dominates the recognition of images/shapes/spatial patterns, illustrations, music, intuition and emotions. Right brain development is thought to be active into elderly ages and most dormant abilities lie in a person’s right brain.

Makoto Shichida, Chairman of the Shichida Educational Institute and supervising consultant to this software, has been researching the development of the right brain for many years. He established the Shichida Method of education realizing that daily training of repeated drills of viewing shapes and colors, absorbing large amounts of information quickly, and being able to accurately reproduce those images visually acts as stimuli for the right brain.

The results have raised worldwide acknowledgement. With more than 400 schools in Japan, this theory is put into practice through the Shichida Child Academy for children and printed materials for adults.

Bottom Line

These titles may not have the depth and variety of Brain Age or Big Brain Academy,but if you're starving for more brain training exercises, you may want to try Brain Boost Beta Wave and Gamma Wave.
