Researchers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia found that training with Lumosity improved cognition in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The study, conducted by clinical psychologist Maurice Finn, involved 16 participants who completed 30 Lumosity training sessions over 8-10 weeks. Another group of participants served as controls and received treatment without cognitive training.


"The results were very positive, with all participants recording significant improvements on all tasks they practiced during the training," said Finn. "Importantly, the training also resulted in improvements on a task that participants had not practiced. This is important as it means the brain has become more efficient at processing information."
