As a Mac user, probably one of the first things you notice using this software is that it was not made for Mac originally. It is a bit clunky, but overall I must say it is stable and works the way it should most of the time. The most powerful and most anticipated feature of this software, the fact that it works 'like a brain' is a big. Explore the world of Mac.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Posit Science Corporation, the leader in brain health software, today announced the general availability of the Mac OS X version of the Brain Fitness Program Classic. Over the past year, the company has received thousands of calls and emails from Mac users who want the benefits of faster thinking, sharper focus, and better memory and would like to do the proven program on their Mac computers.
Posit Science programs are based on the company's in depth understanding of the science of brain plasticity. Fueled by a team of more than 50 neuroscientists and other experts at institutions, including UCSF, Yale, Stanford, MIT, and UC Davis, Posit Science programs provide a highly specialized approach to improving cognitive function. Published studies by Posit Science and collaborating universities have found that the Brain Fitness Program Classic improves memory on average by ten years.
Mac user Susan Greskevitch, who's 47 years old, is already seeing benefits from the program. 'I've noticed changes after just 12 sessions of the Posit Science Brain Fitness Program,' she says. 'For instance, in the last week or so I've noticed that I'm suddenly using words that were in my vocabulary, but that I didn't use very often. You've developed a fantastic program and I've already recommended it to several people.'
'Mac users spoke and we listened,' said Posit Science CEO, Jeff Zimman. 'We are proud to be able to help Mac customers enhance their mental sharpness and stay on top of their game.'
The Posit Science Brain Fitness Program Classic for Mac OS X runs on PowerPC 10.3.9x - 10.4.x and Intel 10.4.x - 10.5.x. It is available in a single user version for $395 and a two user version for $495.
The program can be purchased on the company's website at http://www.positscience.com or by calling 1-866-599-6463. Posit Science is currently developing a Mac version of InSight(TM), its visual processing and memory program, as well.

Floaty Brain In Space Mac Os X
That's been around as long as I can remember, I think in the pre-OS X days as well. I can only test it in Classic right now, but yes, it works there.
Yes, it was already there before Mac OS X, and with international keyboard layouts as well.
I'm not sure how far back this goes, …
Floaty Brain In Space Mac Os Catalina
It goes back to System 1.0.
In MS-Word (only) it is CMD-SHIFT-<hyphen> to create a non-breaking hyphen.
Non breaking hyphen us unicode u2011 - I'm not sure if it has a normal keyboard way of entering it, but if you choose the 'Unicode Hex Input' input method, you can do opt+2011 to enter it.
A bit clumsy though.

Woah. I am surprised this isn't in here yet. This has definitely been around since the classic days, maybe even System 1.0 as another commenter suggests.
Option-Space also sometimes lets you type a space character when the spacebar would otherwise do something else, such as selecting the first item in a folder instead of activating Quicklook in the Leopard Finder (I think this hint was posted here). Ditto for selecting playlists in iTunes instead of play/pausing (I don't know if that has been hinted. Fair game if it hasn't).
I'm not sure how far back this goes, but on Leopard at least, pressing Option-Space on the US or US Extended keyboard layouts inserts a non-breaking space (U+00A0) rather than a normal space (U+0020).This has been the rule on French keyboards since... but it's broken in Mail.app in Leopard (I never used Mal.app before TimeMachine and the fact that a big mail database is a Go hog in backups). Mail.app 3 inserts normal spaces instead of non breaking spaces and it's frustrating. In French you insert non-breaking spaces before '; : ? !' and » and after «. So you get punctuation marks at the beginning of lines and that's not very clean, to say the least.
In OS X, you can easily create new shortcuts.
Create a file called: ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
using a plain text editor.
Add a line like:
'^`' = ('insertText:', '‑'); /* nbhy */
This means 'Control-` generates a command to insert a non-breaking hyphen character.
You can also insert a whole word, which is good for words or sequences of words you type often that are long like:
'^M' = ( 'insertText:', 'Massachusetts' );
'^N' = ( 'insertText:', 'New Hampshire' );
which means Control-M (not Control-m) inserts Massachusetts.
You can also use 2 character sequences, like
'^s' = {
'^c' = ('insertText:', '✔');
'^x' = ('insertText:', '✘'); /* X Symbol */
'^1' = ('insertText:', '¹'); /* superscript 1 */
'^2' = ('insertText:', '²'); /* superscript 2 */
'^3' = ('insertText:', '³'); /* superscript 3 */
};
Then Control-s followed by Control-c enters a check mark, etc.
Yes, this also be used for commands like:
'^a' = 'deleteToBeginningOfParagraph:';
which is similar to the built-in Control-k command (delete to end of paragraph and put it in the yank buffer).
Or to move the cursor right by 7 words:
'^UF703' = (
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:'
);
I get endless amusement out of this kind of thing.
