Strengthen the visual part of your brain
Posit Science Cortex with InSight
Mon/Wed/Fri • September 13 - October 4 • 11:30 - 12:30 pm
$79/$99 - 10 Classes
InSight is a program for the visual system of the brain. Visual processing is an especially important root of brain fitness because so many of our experiences and memories are defined by what we see. InSight improves the quality and quantity of the information your brain absorbs from your eyes. The InSight exercises are carefully designed to improve the visual system in multiple ways-by speeding up visual processing, sharpening visual precision, enlarging useful field of view, expanding divided attention, and improving visual working memory.

We recommend a consistent, structured approach to mental and physical exercise, sound nutrition, and stress management to achieve these important goals.
Keep Your Brain Vibrant, Active and Alert
Regular exercise for our brains is just as important as it is for our bodies. Experts tell us that consistent, structured workouts three or more times a week in a setting with other people who are engaged in similar activities is the best way to maintain any improvement program. Studies show that regular mental workouts emphasizing reasoning, memory, language, quantitative, visual and spatial skills can translate directly to improvement in our lives. We all want to be on the top of our game every day whether we are planning our schedules, organizing our finances, driving, remembering a word or name, or concentrating on a task.
