Alzheimers prevention + brain enhancements in specific areas.

I've been using that for the last ~10days since I read about it in Schnitzelfisch 's guide.

It only taks like 5 mins a day.

yeah okay did not know that. But i guess it gets more +ev when a coach suggest it also.

Whats ur bpi? ;D

Mine is 1377 in memory, and speed is ~1200 problem solving ~700 attention ~600 and flexibility 700

Oooh its close lol, we're better at different things:

Speed: 1061
Memory: 900
Attention: 969
Flexibility: 1352
Problem Solving: 841

i guess speed is something a lot of poker players has trained a lot ♦

Your flexibility is impressive.

My attention and problemsolving has been destroyed by too many drugs in the past, so thats also why i concentrate on enhancing those areas. Dont i think i've never had a good flex. after i got around 11 years old ♦

I could acess only 3 games none on flexibility and problem solving and my bpi scores Are damn low

Interesting thread and thank you for the post.

I have moved this to our Small Talk board

Maybe u should see this before buying the Premium package from Lumosity:

Anyway, free games are fun so test it out for yourself.

I'm incredibly skeptical about this, (and yes, I read the 'Scientific studies'). I know that I get faster at mental arithmetic with a bit of practice but really? Aren't there better things to do with your money? (and perhaps time?)

There are free ways of doing the same or at least similar things:

fwiw I was a lot more happy with the message I got from the paper I read on Dual 'N' Back than I was on the others i skimmed. Cliffs: conclusion was that performance seems to improve but whether this is only in this one type of test is unproven.

edit: I think you can't just convince me personally with a small handful of studies that test very few people, seem like they may have some minor flaws in execution and appear to be written in a somewhat biased way. I only start to believe when these things start looking bulletproof and are repeated many times with hundreds upon hundreds of people.

I always like games like that, pretty lame you gotta pay for most of it.

Could only play 2 games

I caved and just bought it anyway...

Will update once I've played more/all games...

update:

Edit:
Another update, a bit more realistic now I think

Most frustrating is that when I compare to others and put it at ages 75+ it claims I'm at the top 99.6%.. hard to accept there is a grandpa crushing me

I started reading OP but then forgot what it was about srry

dam robin ur intelligent, my bpi is 1268 with 741 lumo points, havent played for 2months now though, never paid for it but played the 3 free games a day, english isnt my national language though which is useful in some games there

best is flexibility at 1434 and worst speed, 1092

Guess I'll post another score:

Speed is my main problem.. guess I'll try to work on that...

doing pretty good in my group:

Fixed speed.. now among top 2%...

I win... And also kindof done with it now.. at top 0.5% of the site now
