The site offers games and activities that improve memory, attention, speed, flexibility, and problem-solving. Its cognitive training activities are designed for use by all ages, but it's probably going to be most helpful for older students who can stick with the program over time.

About Lumosity The company was founded in 2005 and is based in San Francisco, California.

Lumosity isn't the most cognitively illuminating app, but it's fun and the games make for a nice little mental challenge. It provides a great set of exercises, although I wish the settings in the app matched those of the website, particularly the ability to see and change your goals.

We research Lumosity's effect on cognitive performance Both groups trained five days per week, for fifteen minutes a day. After ten weeks, the Lumosity group improved in performance across a battery of cognitive assessments. In fact, they improved more than twice as much as the control group did.

Lumosity is an online program consisting of games claiming to improve memory, attention, flexibility, speed of processing, and problem solving.

Today, Lumosity has over 60 million registered users, and it's their goal to continue to learn more about cognitive training, offer the best, most accessible brain training program, and provide their users with more insights about themselves.

Our mission drives us to build brain training experiences that are engaging, playful, and designed by scientists. We do this by: Advancing and accelerating cognitive research through partnerships with research institutions around the world.

Lumosity: Rapid Growth ... A little history: Lumos Labs was founded in 2005 by Michael Scanlon, a Stanford Ph. D. student in neuroscience, David Drescher and Kunal Sarkar.

One impressive investigation in the journal Plos One involving 4,714 participants revealed that after 10 weeks of playing Lumosity games for 15 minutes, five days a week, people showed statistically significant improvement in working memory, arithmetic reasoning, and processing speed compared to a control group that ...

Luminosity is an absolute measure of radiant power; that is, its value is independent of an observer's distance from an object. Astronomers usually refer to the luminosity of an object in terms of solar luminosities, with one solar luminosity being equal to the luminosity of the Sun.

Train of Thought Train of Thought is still Lumosity's most popular game. Trying to sum up the game's enduring popularity, Ethan observed that the game is easy to start, not so easy to master. “Because of the fine-tuning we did with difficulty,” he said, “the game keeps you in this challenging zone.

While its commercials boasted that Lumosity games are based on the science of neuroplasticity, the Federal Trade Commission and an open letter from 69 brain scientists insisted the research does not support claims that brain games make people smarter or stave off mental decline.
