Susan Greenfield, one of the U.K.'s most prominent neuroscientists, has just launched a brain-training computer program called MindFit.
The software was developed by a company called MindWeavers, for which Greenfield, and David Moore, the director of the MRC Institute for Hearing Research, are scientific officers.
In this BBC news story, Greenfield is quoted as saying that "There is now good scientific evidence to show that exercising the brain can slow, delay and protect against age-related decline."
That may be the case, but why spend good money on computer games when free Soduko probably works just as well?

Where is the "good scientific evidence?" I tried a lit search but didn't come up with what I wanted. I'm looking for the paper that says that solving sudoku (or other brain training games) is neuroprotective, or enhances cognition.
