Smart Games
February 5th, 2007My friends want to make you smarter. Have a look at their new startup, Lumosity. They design video games to boost your brainpower.
Sounds like new-age California hot air I know. But after a peek at the studies behind the curtain (and after reading Mind Wide Open: Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life) I think they could be onto something.
Hey Cheesebikini,
I’m writing a piece on flashmobs in my buddy’s ‘zine. I had a couple questions that I was hoping to ask you about them, specifically on the history and ideological aims (if any?) of the flashmob.
I could just e-mail them to you if that works & you have a few spare minutes. Best,
JP Gritton
I enjoyed Mind Wide Open a lot.
Have you read the book Train your mind, Change your brain? it gives a more serious overview of the science behind brain training.
