The Brain Fitness Program is based on the brains ability to change and adapt, even rewire itself. In the past two years, a team of scientists has developed computer-based stimulus sets that drive beneficial chemical, physical and functional changes in the brain. Dr. Michael Merzenich of the University of California and his colleagues share their scientifically based set of brain exercises in this life-altering program. Peter Coyote narrates.

Brain Training
I was a little disappointed in that I thought the DVD would give specific exercises to do to enhance the working power of my brain. It did in a general way, but left the rest up to me to find new ideas of brain useage. When one is already doing all the things one enjoys it is hard to think of, or find time, to include any more activities.The tape was very informative and certainly gives one food for thought. Maybe I was just looking for the wrong information. It has got me thinking along different lines, where that will lead to I do not know.Corals

intereresting material but title incredibly missleading
The title of the DVD is "Brain Fitness Program" and if you read the back cover it suggests that you are going to get an excercise program designed by "50 leading scientists to help improve your brain" . However when you actually get the dvd it is simply an hour long documantary about recent studies showing that the Brain can be improved. Nowhere on the dvd is any "fitness program" or any "mental excersizes". I am surprised at this being that it was originally a PBS show and yet it comes across as a bit if an hour long promotion or infomercial and by the end you are interested and intrigued and also angry at the lack of the "program" that the title and description seem to promise.Oddly the only place they refer to an actual program is in the title and back cover. The people in the documentary don't really even refer to it. I did enjoy the documentary but I felt ripped off.

The Brain Fitness Program
Very good brain entertainment and exercise. A bit scary what can happen to our brains if we do not exercise them regularlyl and challenge the brain. It is easy be become complacent as we get older and take the easy way out with TV. That is why the TV in our house is not on during the day. It is peaceful and our heads can be challenge with evey day like and exercise both physically and mentally. We watch a good movie each night, NO Commercials to stop the story flow.

Lots of good information
Essentially the same information as the PBS show. I enjoyed it that I could read it at my leisure instead of being glued to the tv.

interesting, informative
Entertaining and full of good info, presented at a level anyone can understand. Well done. I use it for a graduate psychology class as the concepts are very current.

Brain Neuroplasticity milestone
This DVD describes the new important field of brain neuroplasticity, with both theory and more practical examples in more different application areas in a non-jargon laden conversational manner, presented by many neuroscientists. It's a pleasure to view and learn this extremely useful medical infomation. The information is so dense, you may have to view it repeatedly.

Good advice
I got this from advice given by my wife's doctor from Canada ..... I have MS which alters my way of thinking sometimes and this makes me stop and reassess everything more now before I do or say things.
