I am participating in a study through FSU using such “games” to monitor impact. I qualified for the study because multiple family members have/had dementia and so far, at age 71, I show no signs. I completed the first 6 weeks of computer “games” in 3023. Will do so again in 2024 and 2025. I was surprised at how challenging it was at first but I developed strategies that allowed me to get better in visual scanning and responding. I think I am much more observant of visual field in walking and driving. The only other factor, in my family at least, is that I was dx with a clotting disorder about 13 years ago and have taken 2 low dose aspirin every day since then. My affected family (2 siblings and our mother) did not take low dose aspirin. JMHO. I think brain games are a very good thing and if it is ok with doctor to take low dose aspirin every day it might also be a good thing.
