You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool! This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.

My native language is Japanese,not English, therefore it is very difficult for me to play Word Bubble games. My Word Bubble BPI is 946/Personal Best score is1770 BPI/102→946 I have quite a few of vocabulary but not enough for playing this game. So I am making a list of prefix and words in order to attacking the problem. Another difficult games are , Birdwatching,Spacejunk,Top Chimp,PenguinPursuit. I can't see the bird such an instantaneous time! And Top Chimp,driving me crazy! PenguinPursuit,get into a mess! Easy and attractive games are Raindrops,Chalkboad Challenge, (I love math games.It's exciting.) Memory Match,Memory Match overload,Moneycomb,Memory Matrix (Memory games are easy for me．) I have started Lumosity training at 2009/11/23
At first my overall BPI is 493
Today2010/2/23 my overall BPI is 1412

You should be able to improve your bpi in Speed Match if you continue to play. It's common for your performance to plateau for a while before seeing more improvement. Tangent -

I recently started using lumosity and it's been great so far. Thanks for such a fabulous site. I've been doing pretty well and hit BPI of 1000+ in a few games. While I could do the raindrops exercise fairly easily, other processing speed exercises such as speed match weren't as easy, I'm still wallowing in the 600s despite several attempts. Is it just a cap set by how a brain is rigged? I feel like I'm losing control if I try to go any faster. I'd appreciate any input from you regarding this. I couldn't find your mail address easily, please do mail back to the address provided. Also, I'd definitely be interested in participating in any trials that lumos plans, specifically the name memory one that is being discussed above. Cheers. Hey there!

It is fun and interesting. I just started to do the exercises last night and I got results that I didnt expect to get, I even thought that I was a "slow person" but after see my results I could have an average result standard to compare my results. I lie became addcited playing those games. Some of them are really difficult however more you play, more you find it easier . AT the beginning, I thought that some of the games like the colours match was impossible to unlock therefore after a few minutes training on it, it finally became easier and easier. I'm in the 13rd session. my results are the followings: starting Bpi actual Birdwatching 320 1020 Memory Match 600 973 Monster Garden 560 1040 Raindrops 953 1080 Speed Match 540 1030 Spatial ... 540 1200 Color Match 800 1140 Lost in Migration 740 1070 The thing that I most liked in the website was to acess my results graphed and then to compare them with the average. I'm 16 years-old, and actually I'm on sectin 13 of this cool exercises. When I complete my whole jorney in this game i will present my results to all of you see how much this game can be usefull to us and how it can improves and make our daily life better.

The best approach is to train a little each day (1 or 2 sessions) for many days. After about a month you can hope to see a difference outside of the games.
