Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        Posit Science with its Brain HQ app has been used for years by many…including this tech journalist.   And new studies underscore  the science behind the brain training.  Researchers in Australia report that a relatively small amount of training is required to reduce dementia risk .   CEO Dr. Henry Mahncke..

“And what’s exciting about this study is that they asked people to do all of these things..exercise, change their diet and brain training and they gave them five or six months to do this.  And over the course of that time they saw that on the average people did about 10.8 hours of brain training, almost 11 hours of brain training.  And the question that you or I might have is well, is that enough brain training to make a difference.  And it turned out it was.”
