NeuroActive BrainBike is powered by patented Gamercize technology.
Gamercize interacts with the BrainBike by simply activating the mouse when you are pedaling then stopping the mouse when you are not. You can pedal at your own pace (fast or slow) to keep the program moving at a comfortable level for the user. This is a key feature on the BrainBike so that the users can fuel their bran and prepare it to start learning as they play a variety of games developed by medical specialists.

Neuroplasticity | What is Neuroplasticity?
The great news about neuroplasticity is that we can create and fine-tune programs to allow you to put your brain at your service with more ease than you could ever have imagined. When properly stimulated and nourished, the brain becomes much more supple and efficient. Major functions like short and long-term memory, processing speed and visual discrimination can rejuvenate and become sharper. Even those who have seen their abilities dwindle can regain the brain power they enjoyed 10 years before..

This plasticity of the brain works both ways, though, as it can deteriorate as much as it can improve. A lack of activity can worsen its condition, whereas a program of scientifically adapted brain exercises can increase performance. For this reason, a training program that integrates physiological and mental health must be a part of your way of life. The BrainBike XG NeuroActive brain training program is the key, allowing your brain to perform better, think better, and regenerate itself in a durable way. Neuroplasticity is at the heart of BCA’s new technologies and techniques, which now make it possible to optimize the functioning of your brain. It’s no secret: a healthy brain has always been the key to a healthy life. The good news: with BrainBike, that goal is now within easy reach.Neuroplasticity and Your Life
Think about it: you are your brain. Treat it well, and your self-esteem, work performance, well-being and overall health and quality of life will thrive. Neglect it, and you’re sunk. Your lifestyle and choices, especially lack of activity both physical and mental, affect your brain’s health. To keep it in tiptop shape and avoid memory loss, brain training with NeuroActive is key.

Improve Your Brain’s Performance and Your Well-being
No matter what your age, you have the ability to optimize your brain fitness. Want a nimbler mind, a top-notch memory? Interested in feeling better and being healthier both physically and mentally? How would you like to be more productive at work? It’s practically guaranteed if you do the fun, easy exercises in our comprehensive NeuroActive program, carefully designed by physicians and neuropsychologists.

The NeuroActive Program was scientifically designed by physicians and neuropsychologists. Its objective is to let you expand your limits and take full advantage of your brain’s potential.

Filling Your “Cognitive Reserve” | What is Cognitive Reserve?
You know how they say, “use it or lose it”? That’s never more true than when it comes to your cognitive reserve. If you think of your brain like your car’s main fuel tank, then cognitive reserve is an auxiliary tank. If your car is getting old, the main tank may be rusting or leaking, which can lead to a breakdown. In your body, aging can cause deterioration, memory loss, and reduced capacity in certain parts of the brain, so you may have to access the auxiliary tank of your cognitive reserve. This can actually compensate for decline in other parts of the brain and keep neurons from aging.

Developing and strengthening your neural pathways and synapses keeps them young and healthy and prevents them from dying, and there’s only one proven method for doing this: your brain stimulation. People who perform these types of mental exercises experience less cognitive decline, and can push it off till later in life; they’re also much less likely to develop Alzheimer’s or similar disorders.

Successful Brain Aging | What is Brain Aging?
The popular belief that aging inevitably results in loss of capacity is false. Although the brain does decline to some extent in many people, it varies widely from one person to the next. Studies show that 25 to 35 percent of seniors actually achieve similar if not better physical and/or cognitive performance than young adults! Some observers have dubbed this phenomenon “successful aging.” Now some studies are focusing on why people like this experience no decline as they age. What’s their secret — how are these people different? And can you be like them?

What sets “successful agers” apart is the fact that they’re optimistic, resilient in the face of life’s changes, and have a well developed sense of control. And they’re constantly stimulating their cognitive faculties. You can in fact be like them — that’s where a brain gym like NeuroActive® comes in.

What is their secret? It seems that what sets apart those who age successfully from other senior’s lays in the fact that they are constantly stimulating their cognitive faculties, they are optimistic, are resilient in the face of life’s changes because they can adapt to change. They also have a well developed sense of control.

What conclusion can we draw from all these scientific data? You can counter the effect of aging on the brain and we can tell you how.

Prevent Age-Related Brain Decline and Alzheimer’s Disease
The latest scientific studies demonstrate that age-related brain decline isn’t inevitable and can even be reversed – it’s even possible to delay conditions such as Alzheimer’s. One key study is the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) research project, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Nearly 2,900 senior citizens in various U.S. cities participated in a training program for memory, reasoning, and information-processing speed. After 10 hours of training over six weeks, they showed an improvement in cognitive performance that persisted as long as five years afterward.

The data suggest that in addition to maintaining high levels of brain activity among seniors, brain training can slow Alzheimer’s, the devastating disease that affects nearly 8 percent of people older than 65 years and more than 40% of those older than 85.

Although we used to believe that Alzheimer’s was essentially in the genes, more recent research suggests that genetics are only 33 percent responsible for triggering the disease. By far the larger culprit is environment, including lack of physical exercise, poor lifestyle choices – and lack of mental stimulation.

The Myths of Sudoku and Crossword Puzzles as Brain-Savers
Many people think that doing crossword and Sudoku puzzles will do the trick in keeping their brains healthy and warding off Alzheimer’s. But research suggests they’re probably not enough, for two reasons:

First, they affect only very specific thinking processes. For example, crosswords only train a single brain function, known as semantic memory, out of a total of dozens. So doing Sudoku and crosswords would be like working out only your biceps or abs; these exercises don’t do all that much for the rest of your body.

Secondly, the levels of difficulty in puzzles like these aren’t sufficiently customized. Only exercises that truly challenge you without being too hard can help your brain function move to a higher level.

In short, for an all-around healthy brain and nimble mind, you need a variety of exercises focused on all your functions and designed to push you. NeuroActive® provides exactly this kind of stimulation. Click here to learn how NeuroActive is a complete brain gym.
