Lumosity brain games are one of a number of various brain training programs out. I've tried a few others, and as such kind of consider myself a connoisseur of brain training programs. Just kidding.
But, no, really... I have used a few and DO have some point of reference of what to expect. I found a few things superior about Lumosity relative to the rest that I'd like to tell you about.
But before I get started I just want to mention something kind of unexpected to see in a review of lumosity GAMES: I kind of like their blog, which seems to collect some interesting tidbits on brain stuff. Lumosity has some of the really basic cognitive games that are common among most cognitive training game packages, such as n-back digit span, stroop and others. They claim to actually have some basic research backing the benefits of their games too -- the sample size was a tad bit small, however.
