Danny and co-founders Dr. Eran Chajut and Gil Steiner spent 2008 quietly building <a href="http://www.mind360.com">Mind360</a>, a suite of brain-training games that according to the company &#8220;help people boost overall well being and maximize their potential through online well-defined, entertaining cognitive training activities.&#8221;</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve known for a while that certain <a href="http://www.usabilitynews.com/news/article1121.asp">video games can make you smarter</a>, and amazingly researchers have found that you can actually <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/03/technology/03brain.html?_r=1">form new brain cells by training the brain</a>. Mind360 is making a science of it, the question is can they make a business of it. While their business model is yet to be announced, in an era of brain-numbing TV and infinite web time-sucks, any company helping us reverse the brain-drain is a welcome friend. Competitors <a href="http://www.Lumosity.com">Lumosity</a> and <a href="http://happy-neuron.com/" target="_">Happy-Neuron</a> offer similar web-based brain training but Mind360 hopes to set itself apart by focusing on their unique interactive user experiences and social elements.<span id="more-798"></span><a title="Brain Training Games" href="http://www.mind360.com" target="_blank"> </a></p>
<p>The Mind360 game development platform also enables them to efficiently produce a wide range of interactive games, from silly to serious training. This <a href="http://www.mind360.com/braingames/teasers/bushshoeincident.html">fun Flash example</a> was created within 6 hours of Bush&#8217;s near face-shake with a reporter&#8217;s shoe in Iraq and was played over 30,000 times. Those in the private beta are getting a first look at the more advanced cognitive games that really make your brain sweat. The company will open its Beta this March but if your brain just can&#8217;t wait add your email address to the comments section and we&#8217;ll see if we can&#8217;t get you an emergency private beta invite.</p>
<p>Mind360 employs 8 brain-trainers in Herzeliya Pituach and has raised $1M to date from private investors. They&#8217;ll be looking to raise their Series A financing later this year. Interested investors can reach Danny via his TechAviv <a href="http://www.meetup.com/TechAviv/members/5862693/">profile</a>. Danny founded and sold his first company before he turned 17 so his brain and the games it plays are worth following. Stay tuned.</p>
