I have been using Lumosity for six months now and my overall brain function has improved 27.97% per month. Fortunately my base starting point was so low my overall IQ is around 95, so the net result is the ads will not meaningfully affect society. I have to go now to stand in line for the space elevator. Bye Ian. Have faith, Ian. I have been using Lumosity for six months now and my overall brain function has improved 27.97% per month.

Carl Sagan once said that it only takes 20 yes or no questions to identify any item in the universe. Certainly, then, it would take far less than that to identify a person.

I imagine it would be quite depressing to start being flooded with ads for brain training gizmo's and intelligence vitamin supplements. Having said that, I do sometimes eye that 'Ray & Terry's" ad with suspicion! Thankfully we’re not yet at the stage where these algorithms have the ability to assess your mental acuity.
