HAPPYneuron's most popular and addictive game, SplitWords, is now available on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Mountain View, CA November 21, 2009 -- HAPPYneuron's most popular and addictive game, SplitWords, is now available on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Split Words is designed to help banish that 'tip of the tongue' syndrome forever.

The SplitWords iPhone brain game challenges the brain by encouraging users to form complete words as quickly as possible from a set of syllables in a table. Words are categorized into themes and can have 2 or 3 syllable parts. The online version of SplitWords has been shown to be addictive for many people. The SplitWords iPhone brain game has been designed to be equally addictive.

With SplitWords iPhone brain game, people can publish their high scores to compare themselves to the world's best players. The iPhone brain game is available in English, Spanish, French, German and Dutch to give the brain a true multi-lingual workout. Two versions of the game are available -- the Quick challenge: A game with one set of syllables - for when users only have a few minutes to spare, and the Standard game, enabling continuous play with increasing difficulty up to 100 levels.

The ability to use language is a very important part of human cognition, and in modern-day life, verbal skills are of critical importance. Language brain games challenge the ability to recognize, remember and understand words. "Regular engagement with language games can expand the knowledge of new words and make retrieval of familiar ones much easier," said Dr. Bernard Croisile, M.D., Ph.D. , and Chief Science Officer at HAPPYneuron. The brain area exercised by the SplitWords iPhone brain game is the left temporal lobe, which gets activated when information retrieval is called upon.

"We are excited to continue to innovate and to extend our brain fitness programs to the iPhone platform, giving users new ways to exercise their brain," said Laura Fay, CEO of HAPPYneuron, Inc.. "HAPPYneuron's iPhone brain game is a great way to train your language skills during your down time on the go," she added.
