Mark,
On one hand I agree with you. Lumosity and PositScience are not designed specifically for those with PCS or mild TBI. They are designed for the aging population and they do have research to support how the games function.

Having said that, playing the games won't necessarily help you generalize to everyday skills. Getting better at a memory game online probably doesn't mean you'll be able to go to the grocery store without your grocery list and remember everything you need.

I recommend using Lumosity and PositScience as a way to strengthen your general cognitive abilities and if anything, give you structured activities to participate in while your brain is healing.

So many of my patients who haven't gone back to work are bored to tears at home. Lumosity and Posit Science may not cure your concussion symptoms, but they are useful strengthening general cognitive skills and for passing the time in a constructive way.
