Digital tools for brain health, rooted in science
From concept through validation, our product development process is intertwined with our science
Research Programs
We have a strong – and growing – foundation of research
There have been over 75 peer-reviewed research publications using our software and data, including numerous articles in top-tier scientific and medical journals. Publications using Lumos Labs software and data span several disciplines:
Evaluation of Lumosity for improving cognition in clinical and healthy populations*
Measurement of cognitive performance in clinical and healthy populations
Reliability and validity of Lumos products
“Big data” investigations of population health
Basic science research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience

Collaborators
We support trailblazing research with the Human Cognition Project
Through our Human Cognition Project (HCP), we give researchers free access to our software and data. Over 100 researchers from around the world have been accepted into the HCP, including groups from leading research institutes including Harvard, Stanford, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), and Columbia.
In addition to granting access to our software products, we are committed to the thoughtful and responsible sharing of our unique and powerful data set. This set includes over 100 million individuals around the world, 7 billion cognitive game completions, and 5 million cognitive tests, plus several surveys and subject-reported outcomes. Along with Professor Mark Steyvers at UC Irvine, we were proud to receive the first-ever award for research data stewardship from the Future of Privacy Forum.

Product Design
We transform neuroscience research into digital products that people love to use
Neuroplasticity
At the heart of our approach is a simple but powerful concept: Your brain can change how it functions based on your experiences and how you use it. This phenomenon is called experience-dependent neuroplasticity.
Science
Our team of scientists scours the research literature for methods of training cognitive abilities (like Memory and Attention) and other mental skills, adapting tasks and programs or creating our own.
Design
Through a collaboration between our scientists and game designers, we design game mechanics and other digital experiences that are true to the science while also being fun and engaging.
