The Stanford Center on Longevity released a statement today describing their perspective on the utility of consumer products for brain health.

Given the proliferation of supplements and software for brain exercises, this center felt it appropriate to issue a cautionary message about the relatively modest evidence so far amassed about the benefits of these various approaches.

We are all hopeful that many approaches to brain health will prove viable but, in the meantime, it is best to be clear and objective while setting realistic expectations about the impact of these consumer products.
