Primitive tools helping the brain compute, such as pen and paper or printed out mathematical tables, may be allowed.
Example of brain software can be the [game](game.html) of [chess](chess.md). Chess masters can easily play the game without a physical chess board, only in their head, and they can play games with each other by just saying the moves out loud.
