In your browser you have a complete brain training system, as long as you use Lumosity. This web application contains a series of tests and games that will help you improve your brain skills.
You may remember the Nintendo DS Brain Training games, where a pixelated Doctor Kawashima helped you to get your brain in shape. Lumosity is a very similar concept, but with even more science and research behind it. Not surprisingly, according to its website, the benefits of Lumosity have the approval of universities around the world and several studies. Lumosity is a reference in mind games and it shows in the quality of the games. Lumosity games are designed to squeeze your brain. Some will test your memory, others your speed and others your ability to solve several problems simultaneously. They are simple but varied games. In total there are about 20 games in the mobile version, and 40 on the web, but you need to be a subscriber to unlock them all. The best thing about Lumosity is that as you try these mini-games over the weeks, you will see your scores improve. The training also adapts to your results.
Everything in the Lumosity application is smooth and to the point. The first thing you will do is a test to measure your initial level, and then it’s time to start with one of the mini-games. The mini-games themselves are very simple, but they are very well developed and are very pleasing to both the eye and the ear, with light sounds that liven up the session. Some of them could surely be successful casual games if they were available separately. Of course, they will become more and more difficult. They will require you to pay more attention, think faster and strain your memory by remembering more and more information. You may find this somewhat frustrating if you don’t have patience. Remember, it’s all part of the training.
In summary, it can be said that Lumosity offers some quality games that will also help you improve your mental skills. The free version is a bit limited in terms of the number of games and options available, but it’s still enough to keep you entertained and, better yet, in shape.
