What is Lumosity and How Can It Help Your Mind?
Lumosity is a website designed to help improve your cognitive abilities. According to their site, “The capacity of the human brain to make new associations and acquire new knowledge has been appreciated for hundreds of years. However, the brain’s ability to fundamentally reorganize itself when confronted with new challenges is a relatively recent discovery. In response to these challenges, the brain will adapt and change. Given the right kind of exercise, it will reshape itself to be more efficient and effective. This power of reshaping is referred to as neuroplasticity. Lumosity has adapted this cutting edge research in neuroscience and cognition to an accessible, enjoyable training program which will stimulate the brain and lead to improved cognitive ability and health.”
In less than 10 minutes a day, they claim you can improve your memory and attention. Think of it as exercising your mind. You can even give a membership to lumosity as a gift. It’s free for 7 days and the exercises are a lot of fun. They also provide feedback and detailed improvement tracking.
