There's no question about it: I'm getting dumber. And at a rapid pace. The drinking doesn't help, does it?
A couple times in recent years I've run across puzzle games etc. that claim to boost brain performance. I suck at remembering names, I can't do brain teasers like I used to, and sometimes I just can't remember things I would have remembered with no problems a few years ago.
Has anyone tried any of these sites/games/apps? I tried BrainAge on the Nintendo DS a few years ago and was appalled to see it rated my brainpower as feeble - this for a guy who thinks he's a pro at little puzzles and such. I've been goofing around with a trial on Lumosity as well.
Any thoughts on these? Anyone used them and found they work? Which ones? Or are they all wet?
