Thanks to everybody who !voted to move this page. Now comes the work of getting this article into reasonable shape and knitting together the spaghetti bowl of related content in WP about this. should be fun! Jytdog (talk) 21:57, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Companies, products, centers

Jytdog, I would suggest in creating a List of brain training programs and link them on the bottom of the page. Read WP:BOLD. Don't think too much about it, just do it.--Dr Silverstein (talk) 07:38, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am so not a fan of lists like this. I think a category would be fine if it doesn't already exist... But thanks for the list. Will review them for cleaning! Jytdog (talk) 07:42, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 3 September 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Brain training per nom, unopposed. Since most refs in the article already use the proposed title, and it matches the category name, I don't think a relist is necessary. No such user (talk) 10:20, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cognitive training → Brain training – Brain training is listed as the main topic of Category:Brain training programs. It was an article that was redirected here in 2015 as a "poorly written, biased article" on the same topic as this one. If not moved, the aforementioned category should be renamed to Category:Cognitive training programs. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 08:18, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
