Infographic by Jay Thoresen and Pam Zhang, analysis by Ben Katz and Daniel Sternberg.

Using data collected from over 750,000 survey participants, the Lumosity team has observed trends in 5 lifestyle habits that correlate with brain performance in Lumosity games. You might be surprised by what we found.

A big thanks to the Brain Grade survey participants and Lumosity members who faithfully played Raindrops, Speed Match, and Memory Matrix–without their contributions, there would be no data and no correlations. Results are controlled for age, gender, and education level.

See the infographic below for some surprising data about the possible links between your brain and sleep, alcohol, and exercise (among other things).

About Pam Zhang

Pam Zhang studied Creative Nonfiction Writing and Cognitive Science at Brown University (and a smattering of Egyptology too). All this has left her with an itch for unearthing all the weird and wonderful connections between our brains, our bodies, and our ideas of self. Now writing for Lumos Labs, she'd like to know what facets of neuroscience you want to read about!
