5 Innovation Lessons From A Breakthrough Brand Aimed At Aging Americans. Most entrepreneurs embark down that path with a mix of luck, circumstance, and insight: They’re futzing with some clunky gadget, and then boom!

The article states that brain fitness marketing tends to represent the brain as a separate entity—one that requires specific, focused attention in isolation from other parts of the body.
