Upon the registration and creation of an account with the Program, you can access

The Program allows you to earn points ("Brain Bucks") for every minute of play.
Points are accumulated separately for each specific cognitive function, and they
expire after 60 days. When you have accumulated more than 600 unexpired points in
a specific cognitive function, you will be credited with Brain Bucks. Brain Bucks
may be redeemed any offered and available gift.
Brain Bucks are not real money, have no cash value, and can only be used to redeem
for an offered and available gift in this Program. Cognitive Media reserves the
right to change any aspect of the Program, including the threshold value for Brain
Bucks exchange, and the period of expiry at any time.
