As a long-term boingboing reader, it's a very pleasant surprise to see my field covered here. I manage the science program at Posit Science, as mentioned in the LA Times article.
To answer the question David asks - "do they work?" - we are close to completing the largest clinical trial ever done with a broadly available cognitive training program. This study was performed with the Mayo Clinic and USC and enrolled more than 500 people.
The answer to David's question will be coming out soon at scientific meetings - maybe I'll finally suggest a story to boingboing when that happens...
