Forget drivers...I need new firmware... - inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Nice plug.
- drewniverse, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1I'll buy that for a dollar!
- riptor666, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1I'll play BF2 thank you very much or any other FPS that requires quick thinking.
- nevaseez, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1I'll just stick to video games, thanks
- tnoy, on 07/16/2009, -2/+3My local NPR radio station (http://www.kqed.org/) often has the Posit Science software as a gift when you make a pledge at their upper-level membership/donation. If you make a donation of $350+ for the year, they'll send you the software (and a bunch of other stuff) They offer the 'Brain Fitness Program' one, not the driving one, though.
If someone here might get serious about plopping down the cash for it, wait and see if your local NPR affiliate has a similar offer when the pledge drive rolls around. You'll get the software and help out public radio. - surfergirlsc, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Finally found the torrent.
- Tinkered, on 08/14/2009, -0/+1The scientific claims behind DriveSharp has been proven by several clinical trials. The "science" behind Brain Age has never really been tested. They are not equivalent.
- Astark, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Caution: Do not use while operating a moving vehicle.
- DirtPile, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2Try again.
- serif69, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2Pretty sure this won't be popular at all. Everyone I see on the road is doing their best to concentrate as little as possible on driving.
- L0NER, on 07/16/2009, -3/+3Every new technology that comes along has some sort of scam that promises to improve your brain power...
See brainage - DirtPile, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1wat
- m0llusk, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1That is baseless criticism. Ongoing studies have shown dramatic changes in brain configuration and performance as a result of these exercises. The science of brain plasticity is dramatically more robust than the theory of ongoing degeneration that it displaced. Real experiments and repeatably verified results are what is driving this research, and the products emerge from the realization that this new brain science can have a great and positive impact on people.

- jeff4143, on 07/20/2009, -0/+0This is good news for all of us not planning to die young. I'm glad that AAA has vetted this product developed from NIH research. I am planning on cruising safely into my golden years.
- scarlettletter, on 07/16/2009, -3/+2Sweet! no more brain farts!
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -6/+5"Brain fitness" software has been debunked numerous times. It's pretty easy to specialize in something that has no benefit like homeopathy or chiropractic.
- Arsenard, on 07/16/2009, -4/+2Waaaay tooooo much $$$$$ !!!!!!!!
- ShadowFusion, on 07/16/2009, -3/+1$140 for a PC copy of the $15 Brain Age game from the DS..
- blackbeltin, on 07/16/2009, -5/+3This is really cool
- Iexist08, on 07/16/2009, -5/+2really thats awesome
- EdLau, on 07/16/2009, -5/+1i heard of this company before, i think its good products but really expensive
- Fitbrains, on 07/16/2009, -11/+3I have been working in the brain fitness space since 2001 and we have come along way. There has been significant scientific studies over the last 5 years that illustrate how we can maintain and develop our cognitive skills through our lifespan. Our company has started to launch pilots that provide more efficacy to our software. I truly believe the next 5 years will see a lot of positive developments in this area.
