Brain Games

We could all use a break right about now; luckily we have a built-in destination: our magnificent brains. Even when our brains are dealing with disease and distress, they have amazing potential. If your brain needs medical assistance: get it. If your brain needs a break: let it rest. And if your brain craves adventure, let it play: explore new topics, re-live grand moments, and plan for future synaptic growth.

Search for Patterns

Our brains are constantly searching for patterns. Many games, including popular video games, reward pattern recognition and excite with new variations on familiar themes. Find out which patterns appeal to you. Many “personality tests” attempt to sort preferences and behaviors into categories. See if you agree with the results, even if you don’t, you may find patterns to enhance and seek out, or patterns to avoid.

Behind-the-Scenes

Many of us have middle ear infections as children as that part of the ear finishes development after birth.

Some things take studying and practice, like shooting videos for this course. If you can make studying a game, with a built-in reward system, it is amazing what you are capable of learning. If only I had enjoyed learning this much when I was a student!

Can’t get enough of our magnificent brains? There are many games, toys, and models that celebrate one of our most sophisticated organs.

Looking for something to fine-tune eye-hand coordination? Crafting polymer clay items, including these food items can be a challenge. These pieces were created by mini sculpture artists.
