Lumosity is a web-based and mobile app designed to enhance cognitive skills through scientifically crafted games. It targets several aspects of brain function including memory, attention, flexibility, speed of processing, and problem-solving skills, as well as math and language skills. The app leverages the principles of neuroplasticity, suggesting that regular, targeted brain exercises can help improve overall cognitive performance. Lumosity's core feature is its daily brain workouts, which consist of games that adapt in difficulty based on the user's performance. These games, developed by neuroscientists based on research, make known cognitive training methods accessible to users through a playful interface. According to user’s own goal and achievements, the app offers a daily training plan. In addition, Lumosity provides detailed insights and analytics. Users can track their progress and compare it with others in their age group, as well as review their training habits and cognitive patterns, receiving tips on how to optimize their mental workouts. Additional features include optional cognitive performance test, mood and sleep trends tracking. While a basic version of the app is available for free, a premium subscription unlocks full access to all games, personalized training programs, and detailed analytical tools.
