Somewhat disappointing
[Read the article: Buff up your brain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm a long time Salon reader, but I've been a bit disappointed recently with some of the articles. This one for instance, seems like a class essay on the placebo effect when the headline indicates it's about the brain-fitness programs. There's almost nothing insightful about the brain-fitness programs in the article, only skepticism and the difficulties of clinical study. I already knew that it's difficult to measure cognitive improvement -- what did I learn about these products?
There was an article last week about incandescent vs. compact fluorescent lights, and that one also seemed like a recycled college essay.
