Neuro-Ludus Provides Fun, Continuous, On-Demand #Brain-Training
Anywhere, Anytime, Free for Everyone.

MONTREAL, Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Drawing from its award-winning
research in cognitive skills augmentation, Compétences/Skills R&D Inc.
has developed the Neuro-Ludus brain training game by dovetailing
important discoveries in neuroplasticity, gaming and mobile technology.
Neuro-Ludus enables youth and adults to augment their
analytical/information processing skills to learn more effectively and
achieve peak performance.

In the past, researchers have been constrained in their efforts to help
people to improve their analytical/ information processing skills
because of a belief that the brain was hard-wired to function in
predetermined ways and could not be changed. However, recent brain
research focused on neuroplasticity has demonstrated that the brain is
"soft-wired" and can be modified with proper training and experience.

To succeed in the information society, people need to have
well-developed analytical/information-processing skills. Employers view
these skills as essential to achieve a competent and productive
workforce. Educators also recognize the importance of these skills to
learn effectively throughout life. Additionally, the use of digital
technology involves the application of advanced cognitive skills for
processing huge amounts of complex information quickly and effectively.
These skills regulate the information processing habits representing a
person's typical mode of perceiving, visualizing, thinking, problem
solving, and remembering.

To mitigate this widening cognitive overload, Neuro-Ludus offers
cognitive augmentation brain training to improve
analytical/information-processing skills. Neuro-Ludus has a built-in
pre-test and post-test to enable players to assess their progress. The
game scenario captures players' interest and maintain their engagement:

Following an ecological disaster, some primitive bacteria have attacked
the human brain and threaten to erode the superiority of the human race
over other living organisms. Save the human race! Play Neuro-Ludus and
collect neuro-energy to rewire human brains.
