The Lumos­ity Brain Fit­ness Pro­gram offers nine online, engag­ing and chal­leng­ing brain exer­cises done on a com­puter with Inter­net connection.

Given that all the other pro­grams in our Shop require a soft­ware instal­la­tion in a Win­dows com­puter, we par­tic­u­larly rec­om­mend this option for the many Mac users who have con­tacted us.

Lumos­ity games and exer­cises have been designed to train your

  • mem­ory: Mem­ory exer­cises tar­get the types of mem­ory that are impor­tant in every­day life such as work­ing mem­ory, spa­tial mem­ory, and remem­ber­ing names and faces.
  • atten­tion: Con­cen­trat­ing on rel­e­vant infor­ma­tion while ignor­ing irrel­e­vant infor­ma­tion is improved by games that exer­cise visual atten­tion, selec­tive atten­tion, and shift­ing focus.
  • pro­cess­ing speed: Quickly per­ceiv­ing, inter­pret­ing, and respond­ing to new infor­ma­tion under­lies pro­fi­ciency in many areas.
  • cog­ni­tive con­trol: Con­trol of other cog­ni­tive processes is nec­es­sary for think­ing and act­ing accord­ing to inter­nal goals.

Is this pro­gram right for you?

  •  You have a good Inter­net con­nec­tion (faster-speed than dial-up recommended). 
  •  Your goal is to train a vari­ety of cog­ni­tive skills to main­tain an over­all sense of sharpness.
  •  The pro­gram will chal­lenge you by cal­i­brat­ing to your skill level to keep you work­ing at your pace.
