Brain Fitness Program

The Brain Fitness Program is an innovative cognitive fitness program currently being implemented at leading retirement communities across the country. With the help of the Gary and Mary West Foundation, Jewish Family Service is one of the first agencies to implement this type of training program.

The Posit Science Brain Fitness Program™ challenges the commonly held belief that the brain can’t retrain itself. Scientists have spent 30 years showing it is possible to “teach an old brain new tricks.” While this training program has been clinically validated, the most fascinating results are found in the stories of those who use the program. There are a number of older adults who have benefited from their mental workouts. The initial program focuses on auditory processing and memory. After just 40 hours, participants, on average, have experienced 10+ years improvement in standardized measures of auditory memory and cognition. 

Transforming Lives
Mental sharpness leading to happier, healthier relationships may be the most important benefit of the Brain Fitness program, but it’s not the only one. Here are a few more:

• Listen more clearly
• Remember better
• Feel more alert, have more energy and focus
• Gain the self confidence to try new things

“I am gaining confidence. I have found that words come easier. I seem to remember the book I’m reading more.”
-Marlene, 67

Sharpen Your Brain's Visual System – InSight

Eagle-eyed Vision Through Brain Fitness
Did you know that your ability to see depends as much on your brain as on your eyes? The eyes take in visual information, but it's the brain's job to process that information.

InSight sharpens the brain's visual system, much as glasses can do for the eyes. See more, react faster, and enjoy a higher quality of life with InSight.

Reawaken Your Senses
After age 30, the brain gradually begins to slow down. Even if it only slows by a few milliseconds, it's enough to prevent the brain from taking in as much information from the senses as it once did. InSight speed ups the brain's visual processing, improving the quality and quantity of the information your brain absorbs from your eyes.

What this means is that you notice more, react to it faster, and keep it in mind longer-making you sharper, quicker, at the top of your game.

Easy-to-Use, Engaging-and Effective
InSight consists of 5 visual exercises. These exercises:

• Are easy-to-use and engaging, with game-like elements that add fun to your brain workout
• Continually adapt to your unique performance, so that you're always training at the right level for your brain 
• Show extensive detail about your progress and performance 

Clinically Proven Results
InSight is built on a patented technology that was designed and tested by a global team of more than 50 scientists from top institutions. Clinical studies show the program:

• Speeds up visual processing by up to 300%
• Improves brain activation in areas related to attention and focus 
• Enables people to be more effective, efficient, and in control of everyday tasks 
• Helps people retain health-related quality of life and maintain independence as they age
