Yes, I used the Lumosity training for about a year. Although I could see myself progressing on the tasks/games recommended for me, and my scores were compared to others in my age group, I was never convinced that there was any change in my own level of executive functioning. It was an intriguing process, and I would probably try one again, if it had significant research regarding its efficacy.
BrainHQ/ PositScience for 3 years. I feel a certain amount of stimulation on the “Personal Training.”
