Brain fitness pioneers SharpBrains has released its first report on the emerging Brain Fitness Software Market.

Instead, SharpBrains focuses on the state-of-the-art in software-based systems that can be used to improve your mental skills, from emWave's biofeedback devices to brain-training games like Brain Age and Lumosity. The full report is pricey, but quite a few interesting tidbits are available online.
