Product Description
This game, the third in the Dr. Brain series, begins with an explanation of the goal of the game -- Dr Brain's brain has been accidentally transferred into a lab rat and you need to restore it. To do this you must complete nine puzzle areas. (There are 3 levels of difficulty, which restore 5%, 10%, or 15% of a section of Dr. Brain's brain.) The puzzles are designed to require "the combined efforts of your seven intelligences," as detailed by Dr. Howard Garnder's Theory of Multiple Intelligences: verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intra-personal. While one activity requires mainly hand eye coordination, others involve more complex mathematical thinking and problem solving. For instance, players must navigate a three-dimensional maze using a two dimensional map, use a set of basic computer commands to direct a robot around a grid, build a replica of a 3-D block construction using a model which can be rotated, flip the switches on a system of train tracks in order to deliver requested marbles in the correct sequence, and develop a system for filing objects in order to recall which objects were placed where. Other puzzles involve moving letters around a grid to form words, placing and matching pictures of sign language letters in a grid, and rearranging eight bars of music to play a requested song. Once Dr. Brain's brain is restored, the player visits Dream Land and solves a final series of puzzles.

How I found my brain September 12, 2008
I had a major stroke in 1995 where most of the right side of my body was paralyzed, and my thoughts were chaotic. I had purchased this game before the stroke, I used it for part of my rehabilitation--it was great! The feedback from the game is humorous, and gentle. There are several skill levels to handle people of all ages and skill levels.br /br /When you have a stroke, the connections between your brain and muscles is broken and must be remade. That is where this game can help. In its 10 sections it stresses thinking and eye-hand coordination. Those are some of the critical skills that must be strengthened for the best recovery.br /br /I have finished a book on stroke recovery called, "Making It Back! From A Stroke" which should be available in a few months. I mention the game in the book as being very helpful and did this search to see if it was still available. br /br /I hope it is updated for the new computers on the market, it fits right in with the new emphasis that is being placed on training.
