Mind Toys has come across a pretty amazing new device gadget that fits into the category of Cognitive Optometry . Behavioural optometry (also known as “functional optometry”) is an expanded area of optometric practice that uses a holistic approach in the treatment of vision and vision information processing problems.[1] The practice of behavioural optometry incorporates various vision therapy methods and has been characterised as a complementary alternative medicine practice. The Eyeport is an electronic vision training system that claims to improve your visual performance. “Through a combination of sound, color and light, the Eyeport optimizes the ability of the eyes to aim, track, focus and work together as a team,” according to the company’s site. Invented by Dr. Jacob Liberman and cleared by the FDA, the Eyeport certainly looks strange, but it’s supposed to be easy to use. (Just don’t poke your eye out.)

Brain Training
It’s common knowledge that a proper exercise regimen can do wonders for the body. Only recently, however, have psychologists and gerontologists aggressively applied the same principle to the mind.
Among people who work with older adults, the concept of “cognitive fitness” has become a buzzword to describe activities that stimulate underutilized areas of the brain and improve memory. Proponents of brain-fitness exercises say such mental conditioning can help prevent or delay memory loss and the onset of other age-related cognitive disorders.
