The game of concentration is a memory matching game that was originally played using a deck of cards. Today, 
there are many online versions of this memory game.
Instead of a deck of cards, the online versions of the memory game often use an array of themed pictures. The size of the array and the many types and themes available on the web for this memory game are quite varied. Obviously, the larger the array (more cells) the more difficult the game.
Most if not all of these online memory games have timers so that you can keep track of how fast you get.
Listed below are links to the online memory game version of concentration. Check them out and have some fun giving your brain a little exercise.

A recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that a particular memory game called Dual N-Back may actually improve a persons short term memory. The study indicates that by regularly playing the Dual N-Back game, it may be possible to increase almost anyone’s IQ (or more accurately, gF), which was previously thought to be unchangeable.
The Dual N-Back game involves remembering both a sequence of spoken letters AND a sequence of positions of a square at the same time, hence the term “Dual” in the game name. The “N” refers to how many sequences back you remember.
Links to sites where you can find and play Dual N-Back are listed below:
