The Brain Exerciser

Just as athletes use multiple kinds of exercises for their bodies, our brains need multiple kinds of exercises to keep them in shape. The exercises in Brain Exerciser provide a workout that energizes and fine-tunes your brain for optimal performance during your various mental activities throughout the day. While running these exercises, strive to achieve an alert mind and a relaxed body; these exercises are not intended to increase your stress.

The Brain Exerciser is inspired by the ThinkFast™ exercises sold at http://www.brain.com/. It was developed in C#.NET using Visual Studio.NET 2002 with Service Pack 2 for the Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0.
