Lumosity Review | Lumosity Alternative

A careful Lumosity review reveals that Lumosity brain games provide diversion and a quick mental workout. Lumosity from Lumos Labs incorporates brain training exercises targeting a wide range of brain functions including short term memory and processing speed. Lumosity recommends approximately fifteen minutes of brain training per day. Independent research shows that Lumosity's diffuse approach to brain training might improve performance on the task being trained, but will not translate into general cognitive improvement. The training time is too short and dilutes the trainees effort across too many brain regions.

Supporting this conclusion, industry analyst SharpBrains in the Lumosity review published in its Brain Fitness Market Report found that only 51% of Lumosity customers achieved the results they were looking for.

The most popular Lumosity alternative -- MindSparke Brain Fitness Pro -- focuses on brain training exercises that have been proven by independent research to increase intelligence and general cognitive ability. MindSparke has taken the only brain exercise scientifically proven to produce general cognitive improvement, the dual n back brain training exercise, and developed Brain Fitness Pro. While Lumosity reviews show that it delivers task-specific improvement, MindSparke guarantees dramatic overall cognitive gains with its brain training innovations such as the incorporation of meditation into the brain training process. The chart below compares Lumosity with Brain Fitness Pro.

MindSparke trainees report improvements in day-to-day mental abilities, not just in academics and test-taking. In particular, trainees enjoy improved focus and productivity. The training helps people stay on task and complete complex tasks more quickly and effectively.

Lumosity Review | Brain Training Report – Micha – Session 2

Before MindSparke’s n-back training I twice reached level 12 (6900points) on Lumosity’s Memory Matrix (playing 10 days ); After two sessions with MindSparke’s n-back (level 3 with 65% of accuracy) I reached level 14 (14000 points) — impossible for me before n-back training.

So, this simple test shows that even 2 days with n-back training can give you great results.
