Research shows that you can really do a lot with the right brain training. Unfortunately, the Posit Science product costs several hundred dollars which puts it out of reach for many people.
Readers might be interested in Susanne Jaeggi and Martin Buschkuehl's study on Improving Fluid Intelligence by Training Working Memory (PNAS April 2008) which recorded increases in mental agility (fluid intelligence) of more than 40% after 19 days of focused brain training.
I was so impressed that I contacted the research team and developed a software program using the same method.
