FFR affects the brain.

[Revolversaid]

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

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.

Thoughts or opinions on the subject? I searched the forums to find any related posts and could not so I figure I would approach the topic. I feel that my concentration has improved only after a short time on FFR. I wonder if any of you have felt the same. If you can bring any other scientific facts to the table that would also be appreciated.
