Scientiﬁc Study

The following is some additional information about how the Brainwaves

games have been speciﬁcally designed and tested to work the memory.

Neuroscientists from the Clinical and Biological Psychology Research

Group at the University of Ulm, Germany investigated the Brainwaves

series as part of a scientiﬁc study. The question at the heart of the study

was which brain functions are used or required by these games. The

demands placed on the working memory (simultaneous storage and

processing of new information), long-term or episodic memory (the

brain’s permanent storage system), and ﬂuid intelligence (logical thinking)

were examined.

The games studied:

Results of the scientiﬁc study: The

Brainwaves

series places demands on

all three of the brain functions that were examined (ﬂuid intelligence,

working memory, and long-term memory) and is therefore suitable for

mental training exercises from the scientists’ point of view.

Fluid intelligence:

Logical thinking

Episodic memory: Permanent

storage system

Working memory:

Simultaneous storage

and processing

new information

Prefrontal cortex:

Part of the cerebral cortex of the frontal lobe

Posterior parietal cortex:

Part of the cerebral cortex of the parietal lobe

Medial temporal lobe:

Part of the temporal lobe including the

hippocampus
