PBS program to get your lawyer brain in shape (maybe lessen neuroboomeritis, too)

PBS is offering "The Brain Fitness Program" this week. In my part of the world, it was on this morning at 5 AM, will play again tomorrow morning at 4:30 AM, and will air Tuesday morning at 3:30 AM. I think some of us here will want to tape it rather than watching it at dawn or in the middle of the night. Click here for a three-minute preview. Or here. Or here.

I have posted about neuroboomeritis here before. An excerpt:

Just as baby boomers can get boomeritis in their bodies, they can get neuroboomeritis in their brains. In order to prevent these conditions, people need to stretch their bodies and brains.

This PBS program probably is one way to address neuroboomeritis. Will you be watching and stretching?

From the PBS Web sites:

This program presents a workout to help viewers get their brains in better shape. The Brain Fitness Program is based on neuro-plasticity, the ability of the brain to change and adapt - even rewire itself. In the past two years, a team of scientists has developed computer-based stimulus sets that drive beneficial chemical, physical and functional changes in the brain. Dr. Michael Merzenich of the University of California San Francisco and his colleagues around the world have been leading this effort; he brings the research findings, along with a scientifically based set of brain exercises, to PBS viewers in this innovative and life-altering program. Peter Coyote narrates.
