Brain training methods?

Question

IT education

What programs/methods for brain development can you recommend?
So far, I have chosen two programs for myself:
android-apps.com/applications/memory-trainer/ - in principle, I like it, it's convenient to use it on the subway)
www.lumosity.com/ - I'm just starting to use it, it seems like there are more opportunities and they are wider than in the previous paragraph.
I also read that it’s useful for right-handed people to learn to write with their left hand - IMHO, it’s important for techies, because. in this way, the part of the brain that is responsible for creativity develops (I think this can be useful when designing the architecture of some complex project :)
and yes, I don’t consider pharmacology here - except, probably, for pills that increase the blood supply to the brain, but so far I don’t use them (and don’t plan to), but if you have experience, share)

Answer 1

Start studying superstring theory and relevant sections of mathematics (to understand the formulas).

Answer 2

I think that good brain development comes from group training. Since we are monkeys, we learn by repetition. I learned a lot (and even how to think) while preparing with the guys for the ACM ICPC competition. What is often really needed is a quick and effective solution.
And of course - sports or sex. No super-programs can replace the flow of blood to the brain.

Answer 3

+1 for "superstrings". Set yourself the task of solving the problem of three bodies in style, learn to count integrals in your head and stuff like that. And develop memory and the ability to think. If this seems too much, start with something simpler. For example, I'm currently learning Haskell. For a person who has practically nothing to do with functional programming, this is a brain explosion. Well, or learn assembler - this also develops thinking not weakly.

Answer 4

In general, books will help in any case)
And so, try this soft.

Answer 5

It stimulates the brain to learn a new language. not learning, but learning. in this type of activity, the brain goes into a state identical to the state of a child learning to speak.
Take Esperanto for example. a simple language, but completely new for the vast majority :)
and there is a program.

Answer 6

In the vein, a collection of exercise games, the best representatives on the PC are IMHO
Train your Brain with Dr. Kawashima
Brain Challenge
Brain Exercise with Dr. Kawashima
Amazing Brain Train
Plus, speed reading with mnemonics is a good brain shake.

Answer 7

Perhaps, I will repeat someone - communicate with non-standard-minded people. from them you adopt new thought patterns and, as a result, broaden your horizons / become smarter. get a more difficult job (on the verge of qualification), also a good option =)

Answer 8

They say useful:
Right-handers become left-handed for a while and vice versa
"Remember"
Logic games
It is written in detail on justnotes.ru

Answer 9

Two most banal answers:
- To pump the brain, you need to pump the brain
- In a healthy body, a healthy brain
That is, we read and summarize those books or articles that seem smart or even complex and abstruse. Periodically we change the type of intellectual activity: if we stuck it into the monitor all week, then on the weekends we have to go for a walk, a concert, a theater. plus the right diet, physical activity and preventive visits to the doctor - brain fatigue is one of the first signs that something is junk inside.
