EXCELLENT BRAIN FOR SENIORS / “YAD EZER LAHEVER”

We live in an age where life expectancy is rising moment by moment. The prevailing estimate is that in the next decade, people aged 65 and over will make up about 15% of the population, and about 5% will watch away from the age of 80. These populations, most often, complain about suboptimal quality of life and many describe passivity and depression to depression in most cases.

So was the story of Fanny (94), Esti (84), Fanny (91) and her mother (90) who are sponsored by the “Target Aid to Friends” institution, which provides a warm and supportive environment for the population of Holocaust survivors in Haifa. The plot twist is provided by Diana Lev, who with a passionate heart and diverse training abilities began volunteering at the institution.

Diana, treats older populations in a variety of methods from nutrition to fine motor tasks to neurofeedback using excellent brain software. Software developed out of an understanding of the enormous social need for a technological tool, which integrates a home sensor and creates a direct brain-computer interface to strengthen the desired functions of the brain. An Excellent Brain platform armed with a neurofeedback protocol that has been tested effective in treating attention deficit disorders and in a huge variety of games that produce positive reinforcement for the human brain.

“I sometimes forget while walking, where I wanted to go,” Diana testified to a typical conversation with a patient, “impatience and desire” testified about another patient. The patients started at a level that indicates defects in cognitive abilities, did not succeed in tasks such as drawing a clock, remembering three words and even performing arithmetic operations.

When Diana, began to fear for herself that there was no one to talk to, that she was approaching the craft with a desire to only enhance the last life experience, a conversation with the children, only reinforced the sense of inability that accompanied the process. “Their children made them smaller,” she explains, and all it took was faith and an orderly plan. Their self-belief is nil, and that’s where it should start, Diana concludes.

Today, after about two months of combined treatment, the results are noticeable in the field. We report a significant change in the level of alertness as well as an increase in cognitive functions and the ability to concentrate and perform tasks. The trainees began to pay attention to details like clothing, began to put on make-up and lead a routine of life, and most importantly, to believe in themselves a little more.
