Your Brain and Lumosity

In the past, the conventional wisdom among neuroscientists had been that our mental abilities were fixed at a very young age, with no possibility of improvement. That view has shifted dramatically in recent years, thanks to an improved understanding of the brain. We now know that our mental abilities, such as memory, attention, creativity, and problem solving, can be improved at any age with the right kind of brain exercise. The Lumos Labs mission is to take advantage of these new scientific findings to make effective brain training available in a form that is engaging and accessible.

This section of the Knowledge Center has been developed to share this new understanding and provide information about the science behind Lumosity. We are continually collaborating with independent research labs at top universities to test and hone the effectiveness of our programs. Here you will find information about past research done with Lumosity, ongoing projects, and other relevant scientific articles.
