Lumosity - Brain Training

Lumosity is an app that was created by a group of scientists and mobile developers from Lumos Labs, Inc. for educational purposes. The app contains 25+ brainstorming games for everyday training. Each game has an adaptive difficulty level, so you always receive tasks that are challenging enough. Download Lumosity and exercise every day to train your memory, concentration, speed of reaction, and other important skills. Let’s take a close look at the features of this app. 

Key Features

A group of scientists and more than 40 researchers from all over the world took part in the Lumosity app development. They use it not only for entertainment but for studying human cognition. The results of more than 70 million users made this research a breakthrough in the realm of cognition studies. There is still no 100% evidence that Lumosity can make you smarter, although the study is in progress. 

Though Lumosity is made for scientific purposes, it’s also a greatly designed app. It has a very user-friendly and colorful user interface that turns the training process into an engaging mobile puzzle game. It also has sound and visual effects for keeping your attention. The app can also adapt to people with color blindness. As a result, brain training with Lumosity is also excellent entertainment.

Lumosity applies an individual approach to each player. That’s why when you launch it for the first time, it asks you questions to figure out which cognitive skills you need to improve. After that, you can try suggested games to receive reports about your level in specific areas of brainwork. It should be mentioned in this Lumosity review, that its team says that it’s also important to take the complex test (on lumosity.com) after every 10 weeks of playing. This will help you to keep an eye on the overall progress and to participate in Lumos Labs research as well.

The games include training programs for attention, problem-solving, memory, and mental flexibility. Developers add new games a few times a year. Don’t feel embarrassed when you can’t understand the purpose of an exercise. There are detailed guides for all games to make you understand rules and feedback. The most basic games are Chalkboard Challenge (maths), Ebb and Flow (attention), Lost in Migration (fast problem-solving), Memory Matrix (short term memory), Speed Match (attention) and Spatial Speed Match with dots for higher difficulty.
