What about the ridiculous costs of the software packages by Posit Science?

I second the comment by MadHax. I'm in the brain training business and I couldn't bring myself to shell out the better part of $400 to try out just one of Posit Science's products (there are two).

Michael Merzenick of Posit Science is an incredible scientist, but it's possible to get good brain training for far less.

My company uses the dual n-back training that was originally designed by a joint US / Swiss team and showed increases in fluid intelligence of more than 40% in less than 20 days.

PS. I've kept it under $50

The improvement in memory was 4%. Meaning that instead of forgetting 25 things over a period of time you only forget 24. Is that really a noticeable improvement?
