20 brain trainers that boost memory, concentration and logic

1. NeuroNation

The award-winning German project offers to train memory, concentration and intelligence. The program was created by Professor of Experimental Psychology Michael Nideggen and artificial intelligence experts Royan Amadi and Jacob Futoryanski.

After registration, the user must undergo testing, which will reveal his abilities in several areas of mental activity. Then he will be asked to choose the skills he wants to practice.

The service will select exercises especially for you. According to the creators, personalized workouts help unleash potential, not just improve ability. However, only a subset of the minigames will be available in the free version.

2. Peak

Peak works on the same principle as NeuroNation. This is a set of exercises for memory, quick thinking, language skills, attentiveness, emotionality and problem solving skills. The longer you play, the more challenging your workouts.

For example, in one of the games you need to arrange the numbers in ascending order. The first few rounds are easy, but then negative numbers and numbers indicated by dots are added to the puzzle, like on a dice.

3. Wikium

According to the creators, regular training on Wikium simulators can improve the reaction rate by 17% per week. Memory - 19% in 2-3 weeks. The concentration will double in two months. Exercise helps create new and strengthen old connections in the brain.

Daily activities include warm-up and directly solving puzzles in which you need to look for small objects, solve examples or memorize images. The workout takes 15 minutes.
