Specifically, SVG Tiny (SVGT) and SVG Basic (SVGB) are subsets of the full SVG standard primarily intended for use on a device with disabilities such as mobile phones or PDAs. There are several versions of the SVG format in use today (SVG 1.0, SVG 1.1, and SVG Tiny 1.2 at the time of this writing). SVGZ format is a modified SVG format that uses GZIP compression and thus solves the problem of large SVG file sizes. Support for manipulation and combinations of objects, including grouping, transformations and event-based scriptingīased on XML (which is essentially a text format), SVG images compress well.Support for vector shapes (such as lines, curves, etc.).

The SVG format is used for both static and animated graphics. SVG is based on the XML markup language, and was developed as an open standard by the World Wide Wide Consortium. As with all scientific research, there is also a risk of publication bias.The SVG extension (Scalable Vector Graphics) is used primarily for vector graphics and is an open format.

These results are promising, but more research is needed to determine the connection between improved assessment scores and everyday tasks in participants' lives.įuture research should address the risk of inadvertent experimenter bias and the risk of attrition bias in this study, as both the Lumosity and crossword groups had approximately 50% attrition rate.

In it, half of the 4,715 participants who completed the study trained five days per week, for fifteen minutes each day on Lumosity while the other half did online crossword puzzles as an active control.Īfter 10 weeks, Lumosity users improved more than the control group on our assessments of working memory, short term memory, processing speed, problem solving, fluid reasoning, and overall cognitive function.

Lumos Labs conducted a randomized study of Lumosity brain training and published the results in a peer-reviewed research journal.
