I think that Lumosity is not so much 'brain-training' as it is some sort of mind control or experimentation ploy.

I train my brain all the time, with books and movies and crosswords and word games and other sorts of games. But I need Lumosity to give me feedback and keep track of my mental functioning? Um, no thanks.

I'd forgotten about this thread so thanks monster for posting in it. It became very pertinent after I read about the recent BaceFook experiment. (My BaceFook account is de-activated.) I've been thinking for a long time about my Lumosity theory and I think one day I'll come back here with an "I told you so."
