Dr. 
Michael Kane is part of a prestigious group of memory and neuroscience researchers who signed a consensus statement concerning the effects of brain training of cognitive abilities. The statement addresses questionable claims made by some brain-game manufacturers that their products enhance alertness, intelligence, and memory, and that they stave off cognitive slowing and forgetfulness.
In the statement, the researchers note that these claims have not been substantiated scientifically and they take the opportunity to clarify what is known about cognition and healthy aging.
