    I started to read the “official debunker” in a phase of my life in which I was totally and convincingly involved with the supernatural and spiritual truths; I even called myself a “shaman,” figure that. Nevertheless, I kept myself healthily doubting, open to envision my truth as “pure myth.” I suppose I always needed to have something, or someone, pushing me in the opposite direction, to avoid getting carried away too easily, flown to the dubious realm of self-fulfilling fantasies — a task nowadays perfectly performed by my husband Alan, on a daily…

Nevertheless, the language and manner in which the research is presented suggests a hint of bias, because most of the experiments referenced, were not carried out by independent groups. A handful of them were in collaboration with Lumos Lab, the research lab directly run and sponsored by Lumosity. For example, research about the effects of “Lumosity Cognitive Training for adults” involved work by both Lumos Lab and San Francisco State University. Considering the experiments carried out and the bias behind the way it is presented, I will rate this website 6 on…
