 Most amazing brain training and memory training program in the world!, 2008-10-17
When my 29 year old son left the hospital after suffering a traumatic brain injury [...] he had no memory and no ability to make memories. As we were leaving Luby's cafeteria he looked at me and asked, "When are we going to eat?". My first thought was that he still had his sense of humor, but quickly realized that he did not know that he had just eaten a large meal.
Taking him back to his brain surgeon we were told that the damage was so extensive that he would probably never be able to remember anything. Research on the Internet led us to the work of Michael Merzenich, PhD, with Posit Science. A couple of phone calls later and we booked a flight to San Francisco to obtain the program and learn how to use it. The results were astonishing to say the least. Within 3 weeks of using the program for an hour a day, Ryan's ability to make memories became rapidly evident. By the time he finished the program he could recite a 10 digit phone number after hearing it just once and he began to get interested in his previous favorite TV show, Friends.
A combination of the Brain Fitness and Cortex/Insight programs from Posit Science, FastForWord Scientific Learning programs, neurofeedback, Kumon and other modalities has enabled him to begin getting his life back together. There are many videos of Ryan's journey of recovery on[...] just put Ryan Reitmeyer in the search bar.
A .pdf version of the story is on the web [...]and we welcome your thoughts, comments and inquiries. Our family will forever be thankful for the tremendous effort that the Posit Science team has put into their products.
Ryan's father, Doug Reitmeyer
