Make Your Brain Better with Lumosity Scientific Brain Training
The brain needs care just like the body!
In a study funded by the National Institute of Health, scientists found that memory, reasoning and processing speed can be improved by brain training. Moreover, they found that cognitive improvements persisted for at least five years. Lumosity is a scientifically designed brain training program.
Based on the concept of neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to learn and physically adapt given appropriate stimuli - brain games and exercises are engineered to train and improve:
- memory
- attention
- processing speed
- cognitive control
Lumosity brain training program has been shown to improve memory and attention in randomized, controlled clinical trials. The development and testing of Lumosity was guided by some of the leading scientists in neuroscience, cognitive psychology and bioinformatics.

More about Left Brain Right Brain
Definition
This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different "modes" of thinking. It also suggests that each of us prefers one mode over the other.
Discussion
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

Rational
Analytical

Intuitive
Holistic
Synthesizing
Subjective
Looks at wholes

Right-brained subjects, on the

- Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Lateralization of brain function From Wikipedia,
The human brain is separated by a longitudinal fissure, separating the brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres. The two sides of the brain are similar in appearance, and every structure in each hemisphere is mirrored on the other side, yet despite these strong similarities, the functions of each cortical hemisphere are different. - Mindware Forum: Free Psychology Tests
