Dr. Daniel Sternberg leads the analysis of Lumosity’s database of human cognitive performance, which recently resulted in the publication of the study “The largest human cognitive performance dataset reveals insights into the effects of lifestyle factors and aging” in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
