MELON - BRAIN TRAININGMelon guides you on a journey to better focus. Play a customized brain training routine once per day. Based on the principles of neuroscience, our games train the core cognitive abilities of focus and working memory. Each routine takes about six minutes and consists of three fun brain games and a reflective exercise. Focus is a valuable skill, like meditation and mindfulness. With improved focus, you can become more productive and better able to control your thoughts and stress levels.
