Bike Gives Brain a Workout

People are trying a computer brain game and a stationary bicycle at the same time.

It's the neuractive bike, created by a team of doctors and neuropsychologists, with the premise physical exercise enhances the brain work.

Dr. Stephane Bergeron, of Brain Center America, says, "When you do your cardio training at the same time is you pump more blood, more oxygen, more nutrients and your brain functions even better."

63-year-old Noemi Cantor exercises on a regular stationary bike every day with not much to look at. Today she tried out the neuractive bike for the first time.

"Oh, it's much different because you're exercising your brain at the same time you're exercising your legs. I like it because it keeps me busy and I don't have to keep on looking to see how much i have to go -- and the bike with the timing," she says."

While your legs are going, a variety of mentals skills are being tested.

You click the mouse when you have the answer.

Dr. Bergeron says, "People wanted to have better memory of names and faces. We have exercises for that. People were saying, 'you know I've got a problem. I've got it on the tip of my tongue but i can't see it.' So we have an exercise designed especially to solve that kind of problem."

Some of the games proved to be a challenge even for a 34 year old fitness instructor, Georgina Chumaceiro, fitness instructor.

She says, "I was doing the clock. It was a little bit difficult because the clock was a little bit twisted, so you have to see it then do your response."

The next step is to launch a clinical study to measure the benefits of simultaneous cardio-brain training.
