What Is Lumosity | Industry Perspective

Brain training analyst SharpBrains in its Brain Fitness Market Report, reported that about half of Lumosity trainees felt that Lumosity delivered the benefits they were hoping for.

Research into brain training techniques indicates that while Lumosity's diverse and diverting brain games engage the trainees and can result in task specific improvement, this kind of brain training does not transfer to overall cognitive improvement.

MindSparke Brain Fitness Pro has gained popularity for its intensive brain training that can increase IQ and overall cognitive ability. Using brain exercise scientifically proven to transfer to overall intelligence, MindSparke guarantees cognitive gains with its brain training innovations such as the incorporation of meditation into the brain training process.

Before MindSparke’s n-back training I twice reached level 12 (6900points) on Lumosity’s Memory Matrix (playing 10 days ); After two sessions with MindSparke’s n-back (level 3 with 65% of accuracy) I reached level 14 (14000 points) — impossible for me before n-back training.

So, this simple test shows that even 2 days with n-back training can give you great results.
