Lumosity
Signature Tune



“I start my day with a brain training session of Lumosity brain games. Doing the training in the morning helps me feel alert and my brain is performing at its best for the rest of the day.”
--Saidy Smeenk, Law student, Netherlands




Speed Match is designed to train and improve your processing speed and reaction time. This task focuses on improving processing speed, which is often considered a bottleneck for other cognitive functions.


Keep hydrated: Dehydration can cause a headache now, and can lead to long-term neuronal damage sustained from elevated stress hormones


Raindrops is designed to improve processing speed through a numerical reasoning task. It emphasizes both speed and accuracy. Processing speed is important in a wide variety of cognitive functions.


Prolonged stress
can be destructive to the nervous system, and impair learning and memory. Reducing chronic stress will make you happier, healthier, and smarter


Memory Match trains your working memory, an important factor in many cognitive processes. This memory task is very challenging initially but becomes easier as your memory improves with training

More so than most other cognitive abilities, working memory is closely correlated to general intelligence.



Brain games to improve memory and attention


Did you know that the human brain starts slowing down as early as age 30? The good news is that you can speed it up, and improve even your most basic cognitive abilities at any age

Lumosity users have experienced:

Clearer and quicker thinking

Improved memory for names, numbers, directions, etc.

Increased alertness and awareness

Elevated mood

Better concentration at work or while driving
