Зарядка для ума

Оригинал статьи "120 ways to boost your brain power" с полным списком и всеми ссылками можно найти здесь.  Мне пришлось ужаться в размерах (поста то есть), а то ЖЖ ругается. Вообще, просто полазить по сайту будет любопытно тем кто интересуется работой и устроиством мозга. Много информации в ненавязчивой форме с огромным количеством ссылок на оригинальные научные статьи, журналы, игры, парадоксы.
И так, как заставить голову работать?

многие вещи я пробовала и делала сама, но не с конкретной целью заставить мозг работать, а потому что просто хотелось :) многое хочется повторить и сейчас)))
