Daniel SternbergDr. Daniel Stern­berg leads the analy­sis of Lumosity’s data­base of human cog­ni­tive per­for­mance, which recent­ly result­ed in the pub­li­ca­tion of the study “The largest human cog­ni­tive per­for­mance dataset reveals insights into the effects of lifestyle fac­tors and aging” in Fron­tiers in Human Neu­ro­science. Daniel received his Ph.D. in Cog­ni­tive Psy­chol­ogy from Stan­ford Uni­ver­sity, where he stud­ied the mech­a­nisms under­ly­ing how we learn new skills and rea­son about the world around us using by com­bin­ing behav­ioral exper­i­ments with com­pu­ta­tional learn­ing mod­els. As the Data Sci­en­tist on Lumosity’s R&D team, he is explor­ing the largest data­base of human cog­ni­tive per­for­mance in order to fig­ure out the most effec­tive ways to enhance our cog­ni­tive abilities.

Josh WrightJosh Wright is a Man­ag­ing Direc­tor and Act­ing Exec­u­tive Direc­tor at ideas42, using behav­ioral eco­nom­ics to do good with a focus on finan­cial ser­vices, eco­nomic mobil­ity, health­care, and strat­egy. Josh has exten­sive expe­ri­ence in the for-prof­it, non-prof­it, and pub­lic sec­tors.
