What: Posit Science's Brain Fitness Program is a non-invasive

computer-based training program that has demonstrated significant

improvement in memory, communication and clarity of thinking. In

initial studies with older adults, participants improved brain

function by 10 percent. This program also may be effective for

individuals with TBI, and this project will evaluate its

efficacy.

Veterans with mild to moderate TBI and their families are

encouraged to call toll-free 866.423.4981 or email:

veterans@easterseals.com to participate in this pilot project

held at Easter Seals. Participants who complete the 14-week

program will receive a modest stipend and reimbursement for

program-related expenses. The program is offered at no charge to

participants, and a disability rating is not needed to

participate.
