Abstract

You feel more startling when you drive? You can't recall people's names. You can't keep up with fast-paced conversations. You find it hard to learn new things... As we age, these concerns seem to increase. "Is my brain aging?" you might wonder anxiously. There is actually an excellent indicator that can measure the state of your brain. It's called the "Useful Field of View." While it may still be a relatively unfamiliar term in Japan, it's a prestigious indicator researched by renowned institutions such as Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Recent studies have shown that improvements in the "Useful Field of View" can lead to enhancements in overall brain functions such as attention, concentration, thinking ability, memory, and cognitive function, which in turn greatly benefits dementia prevention. The book introduces "Useful Field of View Training," developed to train the "Useful Field of View." The method is very simple. Just spend 3 minutes a day looking at a special photo with scattered marks. You might wonder, "Can this really be effective?" Actually, I also believe that the biggest weakness of so-called "brain training" is exactly this point: the "effect cannot be measured." Therefore, this book adopts the "TMT-B" test, which measures cognitive function levels, so you can engage in the training while feeling its effectiveness. Let's aim for brain rejuvenation with just 3 minutes of "Useful Field of View Training" a day!
