LUMOSITY (APPLICATION REVIEW)

Lumosity is an online program consisting of games claiming to

improve memory, attention, flexibility, speed of processing, and problem
solving. Lumosity is the product of Lumos Labs, a brain
training and neuroscience research company based in San Francisco, California.
There is limited independent evidence that these games are effective, and the
company's claims for them have been found to be misleading by the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California.
Challenge your Memory, Attention, and more. Used by over 70 million people
worldwide, Lumosity combines 25+ cognitive games into a daily training
program that challenges your brain. Games adapt to your unique performances
helping you stay challenged in a wide variety of cognitive tasks.
THE STORY BEHIND LUMOSITY
Were a team of scientists and designers exploring new ways to challenge the
brain and push cognitive research forward.
Our scientists take common cognitive and neuropsychological tasks, or design
entirely new, experimental challenges. Working with experienced designers,
they transform these tasks into fun games that challenge core cognitive skills.
We also work with 40+ university researchers worldwide. We give qualified
researchers free access to Lumosity training and tools helping them
investigate new areas in cognition.
As we learn more about the possibilities of brain training, we invite you to train
with us, and join us in our mission to advance the understanding of human
cognition.
