Lumosity

Build A Better Brain

Lumosity’s focus is on key areas of the brain which can be developed through learning tools and repetition exercises. Neuroscience research has helped Lumosity develop a number of games and exercises that both tests and expands mental capacity around those key areas.

Building a better brain is all about the science. Intelligence can improve with properly focused exercise regiments that challenge each individuals mental abilities. Lumosity uses the results to adapt learning games and exercises to the proficiency level of the individual, providing them with continued growth potential.

Lumosity Training History

Mental Abilities

We’re not brain surgeons and won’t try to bore you with neurological talk. Suffice to say, Lumosity has done plenty of research on brain training and capacity. While learning can decrease as we age, it doesn’t stop and Lumosity keys in on that. Through engagement, repetition and fun, focus areas can develop new neural links and in turn learn and retain the information.

Key areas of focus are Attention, Flexibility, Memory, Problem Solving and Speed.

Exercises and Games

It’s truly remarkable how much fun brain games can be. Lumosity has no trouble creating a pleasant experience with an environment that encourages users to perform well. Encouragement goes beyond simple success rates to improve and enhance each time a game is played.

The games are fun and may have even been seen before in places like Facebook where brain games are common. The variety makes learning a bit less like a task and more like a coffee break game. Some examples are shape matching, mathematics and word recognition all focused on speed and accuracy.

We did experience some minor game glitches involving answers not being registered during math exercises, but otherwise the gameplay was solid.

Scores can be compared to the 25 million member community to see where you rank and how well you are in relation to the populous.

Benefits

The benefits don’t really need to be spelled out, but overall increased brain power and intellectual capacity can lead to a more productive life and keep you mentally healthy well into your aging years.

Drawbacks

There are really only two drawbacks and they both involve pricing. First, the only way to see any kind of pricing information is to circumvent the sign-up process by viewing the Gift Purchases section. If, like most people, you like to know the price before registering, then that process is extremely inconvenient.

Second, the price itself is a bit high at $79.95 a year. In their defense, there are smaller packages which are less expensive, but to truly benefit from a service like this users needs to fully invest themselves in the process and use it for a full year.

Final Thoughts

Lumosity has fantastic exercises to improve mental capacity. While not the first word to come to mind, fun is definitely part of the educating process. Long-term effects of flexing your brain muscles is more than likely positive. Lumosity is a beneficial tool for keeping you mentally focused and sharp and we recommend it for anyone who finds themselves unable to remember or compute things the way they want to.
