Lumosity - reclaim your brain

Brain is like muscles — to be in fit it should be trained a lot. While performing intellectual operations brain trains and one of the best things about this is that it trains in something while doing this, so the best way to learn play chess well is to play chess, the best way to learn programming is to write programs. However just performing some operation can train brain to do this operation well but to boost progress in training and learn even more techniques than just from self-studying it is important to get information from another sources, not just own experience.

In article on lifehack.org I've read about Lumosity — training program for brain. It consists of different games to train brains memory, processing speed, attention and cognitive control. I've tried it and found it very interesting to play some these games. Of course without serious study I couldn't say that my memory was improved by Lumosity, but I can say that at least I've trained in these games and now I can play much better than at the beginning. And what is more games are rather exiting, so I advice to try Lumosity while it is on beta and free.
