Game Description

It's time to get your right brain in shape! Based on Makoto Shichida's Right Brain Development Theory, Beta Wave will test your beta waves - most often associated with active concentration and busy thinking. Try out five different kinds of challenges, including Find the Match, Shape Recognition, and Remember Sequence. Each game type has four levels with 20 problems apiece, so there's plenty of exercise to go around. Progress through the training and challenge levels and track your right brain development throughout the game. Score points for correct answers and earn bonus points for time remaining on the clock.
