I'm an artist, but it takes me 15 hours to start the line drawing of a still life as opposed to the 15 minutes it takes for my art teacher and about half an hour for most students. My eyes will see an object, but my brain seems to argue with what my eyes saw, and it takes me 3 to 5 times longer to start a drawing than most students in my art class. It's frustrating.

I hate to say it, but the frustration keeps me away from those games. I choose the word games instead. I like challenges, I just don't like feeling inadequate because I cannot remember patterns and sequences like "normal" people can. I don't have traumatic brain injury, just ADD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder. I’m having great difficulty with many of the games, especially the ones that involve memorizing.

I received enough occupational, speech and physical therapy to get back to a fairly normal life. But I have continuing deficits I compensate for and have come to accept will be with me permanently. Recently cognitive rehab therapy became available to me and one of the therapists recommended Luminosity as homework. I get totally involved in your games enjoying them immensely. Maybe too involved. At times I've begun to suspect your programmers are moving those darn birds around before I can click on them, and Top Chip makes me SOOOO Mad! One of these days I'm going to reach through the screen and strangle that stupid monkey :) Achieving a personal best on any of the games give me feeling of accomplishment while having the BPI graphs gives me a sense of progress. Giving one of those chimps a thrashing sufficient to move me to the next level gives me sense of satisfaction for a couple days. Thanks so much for some fun and a great therapy tool.

I am very amazed of the testimonies. I feel that reading psychology, based books after that you have encountered these type of Dilusions, will make ones brain stimula, feel more relaxed.It is helping to aid the brain to function at a soothing Pace. I hope this info:will be a helping aid. Sincerely, Loretta Odell I have read over the many testimonies, of many that had suffered with Strokes,Brain concussions, Aneurysms.

I am trying to slow the process with some exercise. Just joined so the results are still out. Having fun in the process though.

I'm a computer science major at a 4 year school, and I'm also a pretty big pothead. I use Lumosity to keep my mind sharp enough to focus on the analytical conundrums that I'm often faced with in my field of study; without the general lag that the after-effects of smoking leaves me with. I've used a few other websites for this goal; but Lumosity certainly seems to be the most ambitious of the lot.

I consider myself lucky since two of my roommates in the hospital ward weren’t so lucky. Their brain tumours were malignant with chance of recovery. Few months prior to my surgery I did become slightly forgetful but put it down to ageing process. Around this time a friend suggested I read a book by Norman Doidge called “The Brain That Changes Itself”. The book inspired me to engage in brain exercises to improve my memory. I searched the internet and came across the lumocity.com.I enjoyed the exercises and decided to join. I do my program exercises every day and monitor my progress.I’m happy to say, my memory has improved and Lumocity.com will be part of my daily routine for the rest of my life. I enjoy the variety of games available and suggest it to anyone.

I still have miner aphasia, mostly remembering names, numberes and spelling. I need to learn math again also. I'm glad I found Lumosity, I wish I found it earlear. Life is pretty good know, but if I do my 'home work' every day, my life (and brain) will get better. Thankyou. Back in 1998 I had a type of brain injury (encephelitis). I still have miner aphasia,
