This program presents a workout to help viewers get their brains in better shape.

The Brain Fitness Program is based on the brain's ability to change and adapt, even rewire itself. In the past two years, a team of scientists has developed computer-based stimulus sets that drive beneficial chemical, physical and functional changes in the brain. Dr. Michael Merzenich of the University of California and his colleagues share their scientifically based set of brain exercises in this life-altering program.

The PBS special, The Brain Fitness Program, explains the brain’s complexities in a way that both scientists and people with no scientific background can appreciate.

The show is narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor and narrator Peter Coyote (pictured to the right).

The show  features experts in the field of neuroplasticity, including Dr. Norman Doidge, Sharon Begley, along with Michael Merzenich. Dr. Mezenich is founder of Posit Science and creator of the Brain Fitness Program software. The two-hour provides a lot of good information on  how our brain work with the  latest in cutting-edge brain research as well as a video brain workout.
