Does anyone know of any free brain training websites? I’ve been on Lumosity.com, and it is great but expensive too. I’m sure there are free ones. Any suggestions?
REPORT ABUSEOctober 28, 2011 at 2:44 pm #108937I need to box mine up and ship it off to some obedience school…………
Didn’t know there were such sites!

REPORT ABUSEOctober 29, 2011 at 3:35 am #108939How expensive is luminosity. I’d like to do something nice for my brain but don’t want to spend too much on it. After all, it’s the thought that counts.

REPORT ABUSEOctober 29, 2011 at 5:33 am #108941Haven’t explored it too deeply yet, but this looks pretty cool at first glance: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/brain-games/
I just googled brain games, brain training, brain training games (you get the idea…) and lots of different things come up, of course including luminosity. I’m not really sure I get what the difference is between brain training and just fun time wasting stuff. I attended a gifted program one day a week in grade school, and we did all kinds of cool games. I just can’t remember what any of them were now!
If you do find a good site, make sure you let us know!
btw – @kc5jck – I laughed aloud at “it’s the thought that counts”! Very nice!

It baically says there are no studies to validate the claims that it improves brain function to the extent of their claims.
