Brainetics Math and Memory System

Mon, 20 May 2013 05:34:38 +0000

The Brainetics Main Kit uses math to teach you how to use two parts of your brain at once. In marketing speak, that’s what we like to call a “twofer.” By using the part of your brain that processes information at the same time as the part that stores information, you can train your mind to work better and faster in all academic subjects. The kit’s five DVDs and workbook feature lessons taught by creator Mike Byster, an engaging mathematician known as the “Human Calculator.” (Sorry, he doesn’t fit in your pocket.) The Brainetics Main Kit is a great learning tool for children that can also help adults brush up on their math skills.
