What we did

Lumos Labs conducted a randomized study of Lumosity brain training and published the results in a peer-reviewed research journal.

In it, half of the 4,715 participants who completed the study trained five days per week, for fifteen minutes each day on Lumosity while the other half did online crossword puzzles as an active control.

What we found

After 10 weeks, Lumosity users improved more than the control group on our assessments of working memory, short term memory, processing speed, problem solving, fluid reasoning, and overall cognitive function.

These results are promising, but more research is needed to determine the connection between improved assessment scores and everyday tasks in participants' lives.

FAQs:

- Why does Favorites mode include games I don't like?

While the Favorites mode increases the likelihood of seeing your “favorited” and most frequently played games, there’s still a chance you might encounter your less-liked games.

The trainer picks 5 games per workout that provide well-rounded brain training. Games rotate in and out at specific intervals which provides the most effective cognitive training. Our training system intentionally balances repetition of games and variety, so you may come across some games you might rather not play.

You’re, of course, welcome to play any of our games (or your more desired games) as many times as you’d like by visiting our Games page. Even games played from the Games tab contribute to your LPI in the same way games from your Training Sessions do. (Early Access and Language games don’t affect your LPI.)

- Can I Practice Games without it Affecting my LPI?

Currently, there isn’t a way to play our games without the scores being recorded or affecting your LPI.

Training and learning by practicing our games is part of the Lumosity experience. If there were a practice section, members could play a game over and over again until they felt ready to record their best score. As a result, members wouldn’t be able to see how much they improved - they would only see their final score. This wouldn’t be an accurate way of gauging cognitive ability or tracking your progress.

- What is the HCP?

The Human Cognition Project (HCP) is a collaboration between neuroscientists, clinicians, teachers, and academics worldwide. The goal of the project is to use Lumosity as a platform for learning further about cognitive performance.

THE ORIGIN OF LUMOSITY®:

Founded by a team of scientists and designers dedicated to exploring innovative ways to stimulate the brain and push cognitive research boundaries. Common cognitive tasks are adapted into games and puzzles that target essential mental skills, often in collaboration with experienced designers or through developing experimental challenges.

Collaborating with over 40 university researchers worldwide, qualified researchers receive free access to Lumosity training and tools to explore cutting-edge cognitive science areas.

We encourage you to embark on this training journey with us and join our quest to enhance the understanding of human cognition.

The application is accessible in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, and Korean. To switch languages, adjust your device settings accordingly.
