Lumosity is a game of training for our brains available for Android devices and developed by the company Lumos Labs, INC. In the wake of successes like Brain Training for Nintendo DS, Lumosity's proposal comes wrapped in a scientific halo which ensures a quality product designed to seek the limits of your intelligence.
In Lumosity we can increase our brain power on up to five different sections: memory, attention, processing speed, mental flexibility and skill in solving problems. Each will have a specific minigame with which enhance each of the sections, although the free version of the title only allow us access three of them every day. To play five minigames and get track our progress with the software we subscribe to their service at a price of € 11.95 per month or € 59.95 a year. For that price we will also have access to forty five minigames available to the official website of Lumosity. Of course, by the time the application is only available in English, so the less skilled users in the use of other languages may have trouble performing the exercises.
The playable proposals have free access mechanical tailored to specific training they are focused. For memory, the game will show a square board Grizzlies increasing size according solve their levels, which turned some parts will immediately be hidden again. Our goal is to mark the finger where, seconds before, turned the squares. In another, two squares, one with the name of a tone color written in relation to a lower box and in which the name of another color hue variable but appears are displayed. If both agree we should make the "right" box, otherwise click on a cross. In any game, if we fail to advance to the next level automatically, not counting any where we have erred score. At the end of each series of levels, Lumosity show us a scoreboard with our record and position in a ranking of performance of one to five.
Improve your LPI final goal
Lumosity creators have devised a system of organization of mental abilities called LPI (Lumosity Performance Index), which stands as a very visual approach to your performance with the program. The LPI is calculated by performing a weighted average of each of the five variables previously explained, giving a certain LPI score equal the known IQ generally accepted. Unfortunately, to compare our LPI with other users around the world we subscribe to the application, because the free version prevents us with a padlock on the screen.
To improve our LPI games we perform daily basis. A circle of yellow boxes are filled in as it will overcome the various tests, warning us that we have completed the daily training when we finish last. It is recommended that the user use every day because only then applying the desired results are attained and experience an evolution in their brain power that will improve every aspect of the game. Your notification system will enable us to remember that we have not yet made the daily trials if we tend to dismissal.
Lumosity has a user base of over sixty million worldwide, in over one hundred and eighty countries. Under the umbrella of the so called Human Cognition Project, this software is backed by prestigious organizations like thirty-six of the best universities in the world or even nine different scientific studies that analyze the impact of the title in cancer patients, healthy adults and other social sectors.
Lumosity is a solid mental training tool that follows the trail of hits like Brain Training and also is recommended by educational agencies around the world. Although the barrier of having to make a subscription service to enjoy it in its entirety would be an unacceptable obstacle for some users depend on these to decide whether it is worth investing some money in having a personal trainer for your brain the palm of your hand.
