This Cambridge University’s Brain Training Game Claims to Give You Improved Focus and Attention
It takes just 10 minutes a day to complete a brain training workout. And, with 45 brain games for adults, and new brain training workouts every day, there is always a fun challenge waiting for you.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a brain training app that can improve concentration against daily distractions that people face in a connected world.
Peak – Brain Games & Training
With brain games made in partnership with academics from leading universities like Cambridge and NYU, and more than 12m downloads, Peak is the ultimate brain training experience.
The app called ‘Decoder’ has been incorporated by developer Peak as part of its Peak Brain Training app on iOS, with an update coming for the Android app soon. The app claims to give users improved attention and concentration scores by training for eight hours over a month.
Researchers from the Behavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute at the University of Cambridge divided 75 healthy young adults into three groups: one group received “Decoder”, one control group played Bingo for the same amount of time and a second control group received no game.
Those who played Decoder for a month showed much improved results when tested at the end of the trial, than when they were tested at the start. “The difference in performance was significant and meaningful as it was comparable to those effects seen using stimulants, such as methylphenidate, or nicotine,” the team says.
