Top 5 Digital Activities for Cognitive Stimulation

Here is a summary of Professor Gazzaley's recommendations for maximising cognitive stimulation through technology, including working memory and attention span.


1.  Combining a physical activity with a cognitive activity (multitasking)
2.  Using apps that utilise rhythm
3.  Virtual surround creating activity in a multidimensional space
4.  Lowering external stimuli and creating an environment for meditation
5.  Restore and refresh the brain by using nature


Game development in this field utilises these 5 areas to make games more targeted, personalised and multi-modal.  Looking forward to using these games when they are released some time next year (I hope!)
