According to Lumosity, they are a personal trainer for the brain and have created over 40 games (42 clinically tested games and 15 games in progress) that target important brain processes like attention, memory, problem solving, and more. We will be looking more in-depth at these brain training games in future posts, but, first, lets look at another facet of Lumosity.
