A team from Ukraine has created
a unique multiplayer role-playing game to train memory, attention,
thinking and productivity, turning the tedious and monotonous
process of brain training into an exciting experience. The project
is intended to help those, who are "over 40" to maintain brain
health and push back old age for many years.
MYKOLAIV, Ukraine, Jan. 31,
2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- There are some interesting
news came from Mykolaiv, the city in southern Ukraine. On 27th of January 2023, the team of specialists has
completed to work on the English version of the project, which is
already available to users. Its purpose is to prove that the
process of self-improvement, the development of human cognitive
functions can be an exciting activity, which will help, first of
all, those who are "over 40" to maintain brain health and push back
old age for years.
The name of their project "B-Trainika" - is symbolic. "B" is the
first letter of the word Brain, and Nika is the name of the ancient
Greek goddess of victory. So the creators decided to encrypt the
idea that the path to success in life is to work on yourself, in
particular, to develop your intellectual abilities, and it can be
achieved by brain training by performing special exercises on the
computer.
"B-Trainika" uses such a property of the human brain as
neuroplasticity - the ability of neural networks to change their
structure under the influence of incoming information. In other
words, when you perform any mental operation repeatedly, your brain
rewires itself to perform it faster and better. Appropriate neural
pathways develop.
The idea of using neuroplasticity to improve cognition is not so
fresh. Numerous books and scientific articles have been written on
this subject. There are Internet sites where users perform
seemingly simple exercises and thus develop memory, attention and
other brain functions. Cognitive training is now popular among both
young people and older people, who choose it as an easy and safe
way to counter the natural decline in cognitive abilities with age.
The problem is that doing the exercises is a rather monotonous
process. You need to do the same exercises every day for many
months or even for years. This is the main reason why even well
motivated and problem-aware people often drop out of class because
they cannot keep up with the routine.
The creators of "B-Trainika" claim that they managed to break
this pattern. At first glance, their site still has the same
well-known for experts cognitive exercises like the "n-back task"
or "Stroop test", but when you start exercising, you find that this
is just the "tip of the iceberg". However, here you will need to
make pirate raids on the possessions of other players, participate
in tournaments, push competitors away, try to take a place at the
palace, get Beryls in order to buy various magical items that give
advantages in battles, and so on. If you are successful enough,
then at the end you will become the Demiurge and reincarnate, and
your nickname will be shown off in the first lines of the rating.
Guys say that their system is a full-fledged multiplayer
role-playing game that takes place in the invented world, where
training with mini-games is part of the overall game plot. However,
unlike conventional RPGs, on "B-Trainika" you do not upgrade the
abstract skills of a certain computer character, but your own
abilities (memory, attention, thinking, perception), which also
gives you advantages in real life. Ukrainians claim that brain
training with the help of their project is much more exciting than
traditional exercises.
Now the guys are working on translating their site into other
languages. Despite all the difficulties, they continue to create
and believe that in this way, they help people become a little
happier, and that everything will be great soon.
About: "B-Trainika" is the Ukrainian startup that has completed
the development and testing of its project and is now planning to
enter the English-speaking market.
