If so, is there any information about when this may become available in the marketplace?

]]> Comment on Optimizing Brain Function by Jim Hofman http://www.positscience.com/blog/2010/03/10/optimizing-brain-function/comment-page-1/#comment-828 Jim Hofman Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:25:54 +0000 http://www.positscience.com/blog/?p=905#comment-828 This was an interesting bit of info, and coming from a guy who tries to work out 6 times per week, I find it to be true. As someone who is approaching 50, I've noticed the positive effects of being active. Probably the most positive factor is my energy level and ability to think clearly for longer periods of time. Although I've got no way to prove it, I'm finding I remember more information and stay on task better during the day. Glad to see my thoughts validated on the Posit Science blog!
