I don't know if his is true or not but I looked for this site after reading the article about how this type of game can increase your intelligence:

http://www.smart-kit.com/s142/how-ddr-and-itg-can-boost-intelligence-the-ultimate-brain-gym/

Many are using Nintendo’s Brain Age game to boost their brain power.
Here are two more powerful tools, however, you can add to your brain
gym:

* Dance Dance Revolution
* In the Groove

[Two videos follow at the end of the article]

Both are music video games that may improve your ability to
concentrate as well as increase your intelligence. The research that
supports this view basically comes from the work done with Synchronized
Metronome Tapping (SMT), a technique that seeks to develop the rhythm and timing circuitry of the brain.

Rhythm and Timing involves multiple brain regions such as the:

* cerebellum
* basal ganglia
* frontal lobes
* thalamus
* motor cortex
* temporal lobes
* sensory cortex
* corpus callosum

Additionally, the crucial neural pathways that interconnect these structures and enable them to communicate with each other are also invoked.

Importantly, several scientific studies have been published on the beneficial effects of SMT; these include:

* A recent exploratory study presented at the learning & Brain
Conference at Harvard in 2005 revealed that SMT treatment resulted in a
7-20% greater growth in reading and math achievement
* A study involving 9 to 12 year old boys diagnosed with ADHD showed significant patterns of improvement in attention, coordination, reading and language processing
* A study involving 1500 middle and high school students showed significant increases in reading fluency and math fluency
* A study of 360 9th and 10th graders showed higher scores in
broad reading, reading fluency, and math calculation skills. Math
fluency and attention also improved significantly.

ffr is no waste of time. your hand eye coordination gets remakably better with this game.
