Here's a game to boost your IQ, but also to keep your brain "young" and thus lengthen your life.
It is sure to be a big hit with Boomers, who will do anything to live forever young.
It also illustrates the value of the new research on the brain.
Currently being played with a Nintendo all over Japan, it will come to U.S. and other countries soon.
Conceived by a leading brain researcher, the game exercises your brain. The object is to score low, the lower the score, the younger your brain becomes. Would you play this game?
The game is called Brain Age and it looks fun especially if you are into Sudoku type of puzzles. I think the more significant side of this story is that how these types of games are becoming mobile. I have chess and sudoku in my cell phone that keep me occupied in a long flight or whenever I need a break from daily life. I also recently downloaded Spanish lessons to my cell phone. Lifelong learning on the go? :-)

I would absolutely play this game, boomer or not. We spend so much time exercising our bodies to stay young, why not our brain?s
