I Train To…

By Karen Merzenich on March 16, 2010

Depending on where you live, you may have seen our new commercial on TV. We are really proud of it- because it reminds people that among other benefits, Posit Science programs are clinically proven to help people improve their memory and auditory processing, cut crash risk in half, and protect health-related quality of life for up to 5 years after training.

There are lots of reasons why people train with Posit Science software. What we want to know is: why do YOU train?

UPDATE: This contest is now CLOSED. We randomly selected a winner, which is… Commenter #5, Jamie L! Congratulations!

    I want to train with Insight because I have very poor vision but was not diagnosed until I was older and then was too embarassed to wear my glasses. I believe my eyes did not develop correctly and I struggle alot with visual processing especially trying to quickly assess situations since I walked around half blind for the first 14 years old my life.

    I train with Posit to improve Gross and Fine motor skills or movements. Walking has become a major challenge in my life and I hope by improving neuroplasticity I can make the needed improvements to function. If your company has programs to improve motor skills/walking I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Dennis Black

    I became interested in the Posit Science products after hearing an interview with Dr. Merzenich on the Brain Science podcast. I am particularly interested in maintaining/boosting memory and perception skills, so the Brain Fitness Program and inSight product seem potentially useful to me.

    I want to train because I have watched my now-93-yr-old mother slip into dementia and plan to do everything I can to avoid that myself. If she had had this software at my age, who knows what she could be doing at her present age. Living longer is only worth it (IMHO) if we also live well.

    I have been training with Brain Fitness so I can stop asking people to repeat themselves louder and more slowly.

    I train (using the auditory focused program) because it improves my comprehension skills since I am now single sided hearing because of treatment for an acoustic neuroma. I also have vestibular issues which your current programs (and future ones) help. So glad I found out about posit science…it makes a big difference in my life.

    Having just read “The brain that changes itself” I’m interested in any brain training, both for personal and professional development.

    After watching my father-in-law desperately struggle unsuccessfully to find a stroke rehabilitation program that could help him regain the use his arm & leg again, I read the book “The Brain that Changes Itself”. It was so inspiring to read about people with brain injuries and damage who managed to make terrific progress. I would like to help keep the rest of my family in a state of brain fitness, but can’t afford the program right now. Thank you for all you are doing to help people heal from brain trauma.

    I want to train because i entered thirties and all the text that i read says this is the right time to start investing in brain exercises to keep it fit through the middle years and that any exercises done now will have a longer lasting impact.

    Last year I read ‘The Brain That Changes Itself’ and also came across Fast ForWord in a school where I worked. Got really interested in EFT and redefining ADHD also…all these sort of snowballed together as a result and helped me improve my understanding of kids’learning. Would love to try one of the PS memory programs. Or Insight as I’m half blind.
