It's OT, but I think the government may be involved in this Vital Votes thing -- someone keeps fixing it until it's broken.

Careful, we may reawaken the notion we are actually free in this nation.

I'm a founder of Lumos Labs (the company that created Lumosity); thanks for the great write-up.

To clarify, Lumos Labs and Posit Science both develop evidence-based cognitive fitness programs, but otherwise I think you'll find that the programs are considerably different. Each was designed for a distinct audience and set of cognitive abilities. I won't describe all the differences because my bias might show, but I strongly encourage anyone interested in improving cognitive ability to compare the programs side-by-side in order to decide which is right for you.

Lumosity is currently free because it is still in beta, but we do plan to eventually begin charging to access the program.

I cant say I have looked into Lumosity's product all the much. I have just skimmed the website and the parent site. It seems to me that the stuff they are doing is very similar to Posit Science's program. Almost seems like a copy, but like I said I haven't used the product.

I would look into Posit Science if your interested in healthy aging. I got my parents using Posit Science's program and it is/was the best Christmas(2005) gift I have ever given. They are sharper, clearer, more outgoing, more social. I cant thank Posit Science enough. They use the program every year and they just get stronger. Its awesome.

WHAT?! A free and efficient information preventative model without BIG Pharma drugs with harmful and deadly side-effects? Quick call the FTC or FCC to shut it down!
