Lumosity: Brain Training

Play. Learn. Improve.

View

Lumosity’s brain-training program is a fun, interactive way to build mental muscle. Inside you’ll find more than 40 games that challenge your cognitive abilities across five core segments: speed, memory, attention, flexibility and problem-solving. There are activities focused on language and math too.

What we love: The games are simple and quick but require intense focus. (And if you need help focusing, it has activities for that too.) For every exercise you complete, earn points toward your Lumosity Performance Index (LPI). The more you play, the better the app can analyse your strengths and weaknesses.

Get suggestions for your daily workout on the Home tab or choose something new from the library on the Games tab.

Quick tip: Lumosity subscribers also get access to the Insights section. When you play the same game numerous times – or play a wide variety of games – the app displays information about your performance in relation to others and it offers tips for better accuracy, speed, steadiness and strategy.

The team of scientists and designers keep cognitive research at the core of what they do, transforming common neuropsychological tasks into games and puzzles.
