This is PP who did CogMed with the other provider. Do you know what he is charging for the program? I can tell you how it compares to what we paid - if you're at all interested.

This story isn't about Cog Excel per se but it talks about the whole concept of being able to train your brain through online games.

Worth a read if you're considering these types of services.

The price for the full program and supervision was $1500 but there was a 10% discount offered for workshop attendees that purchased within a week of the workshop. I could not attend that week but it is being offered again this weekend. This reminded me to call up about it. There is a description of the workshop on Craigslist right now at:

How much did you pay and has it been worth it?
