I'm watching them tick by one by one, slightly panicked that I am going to forget them. The screen goes dark, and I?m now supposed to write down as many of the words as I can quickly recall. I am annoyed when I manage only five words. Pat Turk says not to worry, that this is fairly typical. Turk is director of business development for Cognitive Drug Research, a British firm that uses automated tests to gauge how well we think. He's come to my office in San Francisco to administer a battery of tests to check out my attention, memory and executive function. I will be compared on this test and several others with people my age and to those who are younger and older. Their results have been averaged on a database of tens of thousands of adults. I'll also get a "brain-age" score. I have to admit to certain nervousness. What if a) I turn out to be a moron; or b) my brain-age is older than I am? Cognitive Drug Research is one a handful of businesses, most of them outside of the U.S., that work with pharmaceutical companies to test how new drugs for everything from nicotine addiction to Alzheimer's disease affect the mind's ability to remember things, make decisions, and analyze information. The results from their tests are recognized "end points" by the Food and Drug Administration to determine if new brain medications work, which means that the drug industry has billions of dollars in potential revenues riding on them. (For more information, see "The Ultimate Cure," an article on the neurotechnology industry in the June issue of Conde Nast Portfolio.) Cognitive tests have been around for a century as examinations taken with paper and pencil. In the 1970s and '80s the tests shifted to computers, Cognitive Drug Research founder Keith Wesnes says. He is a psychologist and neuroscientist who started the company in 1986 as an outgrowth of testing programs he developed for his academic experiments on cognition. Besides drug trials, cognitive experiments are being run on patients who have had open heart surgery; take cholesterol-lowering drugs; experience what is known as "Chemofog," a cognitive decline that sometimes accompanies chemotherapy treatments for cancer; and soldiers returning from Iraq with head trauma. Tests have been run on children eating sugary breakfast cereals versus more healthy breakfasts, and on the cognitive impact of being obese. An Australian competitor of Cognitive Drug Research, Cogstate, offers a product called Cogstate Sport that monitor an athlete?s recovery from concussions. Customers include the Rugby Football League in Britain and the Australian Football League. Somewhat ominously, Cogstate also offers a test that allows employers to check out their workers. According to the company's website: CogState WorkPlace allows employers to comprehensively measure if their employees are fit for duty when it comes to their ability to think and act. Taking only around 8 minutes to complete, it has been proven to be sensitive to the effects of alcohol, fatigue and certain types of drugs. This method of testing is significantly less invasive than existing methods of drug and alcohol testing and therefore can be used as a less invasive step within an OH&S (Occupational Health and Safety) system. Experimenters also have tested methods for enhancing cognition. For instance, placing subjects into a room high in oxygen apparently makes the brain very happy given the improved scores on cognition and memory. Drugs on the market and being tested also improve scores for healthy people, in some cases by as much as 20 percent. Issues of enhancement and testing workers raise a host of ethical issues, including the possibility that these tests will be abused by individuals wanting to boost their own intelligence with drugs, or by employers discriminating against people who don?t score high on the tests. And what should be done about the prospect of delivering bad news to people with mental disorders, who might get more depressed, or worse? Wesnes says that his privately held company has tested about 30,000 people, and earns about $7 million to $8 million a year. But adds that he believes the cognitive-testing market is on the verge of expanding into an online business that would offer tests directly to consumers, businesses, or anyone else. Consumers would need to be protected from anyone abusing these sites and the information generated; and accommodations would need to be made to protect or educate patients who might be upset by the results. For healthy people, the sites could be used to run self-experiments, such as comparing one?s cognitive abilities while listening to, say, Carlos Santana versus listening to a Bach concerto; or before and after a bike ride. The price won?t be outrageous?perhaps $40 or $50, says Wesnes, though he has not yet done an analysis to set prices. Last weekend, I got my results from my own battery of test, and was surprised to hear that despite being 50 years old, my "brain age" is in my 20s. I was quick in responses and usually pretty accurate, said Wesnes. "But that doesn't mean that you weren't sharper in your 20s," he said. "We are all on our own scale, and we all decline with age." So I think that?s good news?for now. We?ll see how I do on the next test I?m planning with Wesnes, Turk, and Cognitive Drug Research?to determine how my brain does after drinking a glass or two of a modestly-priced Bordeaux. Will I do worse ... or better?

So here's our story. We recently had a room open up and we are looking for a laid back guy to join the household by August 1st. You'd be moving into an Large 4-bedroom/ 3-bathroom home shared by 4 other straight/easy going/professionals (ages 27-31). Check out the details and pics below! The House: - Large furnished living room - Dinning room - Large Kitchen with it’s own island - Washer and Dryer - Garage for storage space - Ample street parking including 1 drive way spot - Backyard - Peaceful/safe location (this is Ingleside Terrace- best part of Ingleside) - Professional Air Hockey Table - High speed WiFi The Room: I'll cut right to the chase - This is a small room, it's probably only about 80-90 square feet. Inside contains a desk/shelf unit attached to the wall, which takes up some of the limited space so you have to be someone who doesn’t require a lot of space. Also, you should know that the room is right next to the kitchen, which is great for getting midnight snacks but bad if you’re a light sleeper (although we’re all very considerate to this and try to not make any noise at night time). However, the good news is the room does comes with its own bathroom, which is pretty nice and you’re getting a huge house to roam around in as well. Rent= $650 + utilities (runs $35-$80 per month). Move in cost requires first, a last month's rent deposit of $650, and a $300 security deposit. http://home.comcast.net/~mcallsworth/bedroom1.jpg The Roommates: Michele- 30-year-old sparkling chatterbox beaming goodwill and character. Can be found usually downtown working or chatting it up over her daily late. Spend an hour with her and you will be tickled by her Rhode Island personality as she shares her goals of breaking the Guinness book record for career changes in a lifetime. http://home.comcast.net/~mcallsworth/IMG_1167.JPG Brian (31), former hypersominac who's reluctantly becoming the old man of the house. When not bounded by responsibility, enjoys playing sports, live music shows, ultimate frisbee, or wandering the streets aimlessly searching for the quintessential restaurant. Inquisitive, tolerant idealist who specialty is making mean cocktails and faking professional demeanors. http://home.comcast.net/~mcallsworth/Brian.jpg Mike- (30), east coaster struggling to adapt to the carefree, disconnected city life. Has a passion for road trips, outdoors, watching & playing sports, baking the world's greatest banana bread, and, most importantly, helping his roommates with their car problems. Mike’s brings a hilarious Jersey perspective to our often laid-back west coast lifestyle and have yet to meet a person who didn’t like him. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26454269@N02/2481284626/ Alex, 27-year old professional by day, rockstar by night. When he's not charming the young folks, can be found watching sports, sharing his extensive movie knowledge, schooling us on sleep disorders, or holding clinics on obscure board games. Talented, funny dude who's turning out to be a great roommate. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26454269@N02/2481284632/in/photostream/ Looking for: - Ages 25- 35 - Respectful, financially stable, direct(isn't a fan of passive aggressiveness) - Doesn't own any pets (we love them but our landlord doesn't) - Somewhat social but won't bring bar home with you - Clean and understands how to live in a shared environment - Low maintenance (has their own life) - Not a light sleeper (don't worry, we don't blast heavy metal but the house does have thin walls) - Someone who owns a plasma big screen (just kidding) Location: In the very southern part of the city, Ingleside Terrace is a quite residential neighborhood, located between the West Portal district and SFSU. It is about 4 blocks away from Ocean Avenue, which has all of your amenities (gym, dry cleaners, wallgreens, restaurants etc.). It’s a bit of hike from downtown, so if you don’t drive, you need to patient enough of a person to take a 30-50 minute muni/bart ride. So if you think this might be your type of place, send us a brief description of yourself (including age) and a picture or a myspace/friendster/etc link (not because we're that shallow- only one of us is - but because we want to put a face behind the words) and we'll get back to you with the showing time.

Block cites research from South Korea, where, he says, the affliction is considered a serious public health problem, and the government estimates that 168,000 children may require psychotropic medications. In China, the Beijing Military Region Central Hospital puts the number of teenage pathological computer users at 10 million.
