Street Journal test of brain gym games, beating 5 other brain fitness software
packages.



Press Release Body: Oxford, UK - MindWeavers Plc brain training software company
comments upon results from Wall Street Journal review of 6 major brain gym software
offerings by a panel of brain aging experts. MindFit, the brain training system
offered in the UK by the Oxford based MindWeavers company, scored highest overall
with a score of 4.1 out of 5, with the variety of brain exercise tasks and visual
appeal being major reasons for the high score. MindFit was also rated as the most

decline. For more information visit www.mindweavers.co.uk or phone 01865 811123.

The Journal wrote that, \"Our reviewers were impressed with MindFit\'s assessment
tools and the variety of exercises. You had to do task-switching, and had to change
your concentration. It really felt like I was using part of my brain that I don\'t
use very much.\" The article went on to say that the MindFit brain training software
\"clearly outlines the benefits of each exercise, which I found the strongest
motivation for using the program.\" Another reviewer quoted in the brain gym software
review said, \"This one was based the most solidly in cognitive science and what we
think stimulates the brain\" and \"Our users also liked MindFit\'s instant feedback.
They found the program\'s assessment of their individual capabilities, rather than a
single number tagging their \'brain age\' more satisfying and reality-based.\"

Bruce Robinson, CEO of MindWeavers said \"We are very pleased that the benefits of
MindFit brain training software have been recognized by such a prestigious popular
journal. A great deal of effort has been made to balance the scientifically proven
benefits of this brain training software with the fun factor, ensuring that as
people are motivated by enjoyment of the brain exercise games, they are also
achieving the maximum cognitive training benefit."
