Scientists develop online games scientifically proven to ‘train the brain’

Scientists develop online games scientifically proven to ‘train the brain’A team of scientists in the US have released 3 online brain training games. What's even better is that these games are scientifically proven to work!

What are these games?

The 3 games are called Gwakkamolé, CrushStations, and All You Can ET.
 	These games are the result of a 4-year research project funded by the US Department of Education.
 	They have been developed by a team of psychologists, scientists and game designers and are available on both the iOS and Google Play app stores.
 	Research has proven that both children and adults can use these 3 games to improve their cognitive skills. Cognitive skills are the core skills your brain uses to think, read, learn, remember, reason, and pay attention.

The scientists hope that these games can help children, to learn better, especially those children who may not have the opportunity to go to the best schools.

What next?

The scientists plan to continue research and build out virtual reality (VR) versions of the games.
 	They have also already edited a handbook of game-based learning which will be published by MIT Press.
