Simon Says Play Me
>
Here's a new version of the memory game Simon. We posted it on a black background and made it LARGE so it is easy to follow. It is almost as large as the original!
This game is very good at exercising your memory because you need to remember patterns of lights that you just saw. Compared to a shooter, which exercises the frontal lobe of the brain and may place the brain into a 'fight or flight'mode depending on intensity, though nevertheless increasing synaptic speed; this game involves the mechanisms of memory directly and the short-term memories that are the latest to be accumulated, which research shows, are those at greatest risk to impairment.
And, it speeds up the more successful you are, getting increasingly difficult.
It's great fun and certainly good for the brain.
