    Why the need to improve brain function?
    Increasing our information processing capacity and efficiency is more important today than ever before. The rate at which we need to process information in today's high-speed, information-packed, competitive environment can be overwhelming. Children are faced with challenges previous generations would have never imagined. Many adults feel that they are losing the ability to remember facts, figures, phone numbers, important dates and names--or simply where they left their car keys. Making matters worse, many children and adults must work unusually hard to do normal tasks, due to processing inefficiencies. In addition, the natural aging process--now impacting an increasingly older baby boomer population --erodes memory, even in the sharpest of minds.

    How long does it take to use BrainBuilder?
    You should set aside about 10-20 minutes per training session for exercise trials, the target being 15-20 minutes. Be sure to set aside some additional time to make your Brain Diary entries, review your Brain Records and study the resources available in BrainBuilder.com, as you can make the time.

    Schedule about 30-45 minutes for your first BrainBuilder session. This will allow enough time to complete your baseline digit span testing, complete a few exercise trials, and become familiar with BrainBuilder.com.

    What if I get started with BrainBuilder.com, but then have to stop for a while?
    While it is not recommended to stop exercising your brain, the best thing you can do if this happens is to start again as soon as you are able.

    It takes about 90 days to form or change a habit. Although BrainBuilder will bring results far sooner, the first three months are crucial to long-term success. If you can commit for that time, you will find the benefits of cognitive training so rewarding that it will simply become part of your life. If you get off track, don't worry, you can always come right back.

    How soon will I see improvement?
    BrainBuilder works on the concept of brain plasticity. It offers repetitive training at the right frequency, intensity and duration, until we see a permanent structural change in the brain.

    Short-term results are noticeable within a few weeks, but of course, long-term benefits take place over the course of months and are maintained and furthered through on going use. It's analogous to building a muscle or losing weight-improving the brain is like implementing a physical exercise regime.
