I had not heard about this fine, but I'm glad to hear that regulators are still watching the "brain training industry." It sounded promising at first, but a lack of proof to back up their claims is cause for concern. As the article says,
"The case points to the larger picture of the state of the brain-training industry which is met with skepticism. In 2014, more than 70 prominent neurology and psychology researchers published a consensus statement rebuking the brain-training industry and its "frequently exaggerated" marketing. Federal law also mandates that only products that have been vetted by the FDA could claim to treat or prevent serious health conditions -- to date, there are none."

I hate it when this kind of thing happens because it casts a doubt on programs that could really have benefit. Retraining the brain take big chunks of time. Generally the programs that get in trouble are those that promise big in a small amount of time.
