Peak - Take your brain to the gym with cognitive games

Sagi, co-founder of Peak (Brainbow games) just posted on VC Cafe about the next billion dollar market in gaming: http://www.vccafe.com/2014/05/29...

I was excited to see this but disappointed that it's so similar to Lumosity. (Too similar, IMO.) Obviously I haven't tried the app but based on screenshots & descriptions I counted at least 4 games that are identical to Lumosity. Also noticed that the site makes claims about scientific research, but the research page makes it sound like the research program hasn't even started.

I don't see any evidence that any of these brain training games actually work. This product looks like it also takes advantage of people's scientific and logical incompetency. Not sure PH should be pushing products like these. Seems similar to homeopathy. thoughts @rrhoover?

@datarade - ultimately my job is to create a system where the community decides the type of products they want to see and chat about. I'm working on some changes to the feed to help with this -- pre-launch vs. launched products is a tricky, subjective topic. I'd love love love your guys' input and ideas but it might be better to take this convo to Twitter or email so we don't derail this thread too much. :)

Logic by consensus tends to be a treacherous arena. I appreciate your quick response.

While it's frustrating to see a product you can't actually test yet, I wanted to put it on your radar early... Agree with Ryan that it's probably worth adding a 'tag' for pre launch submissions.
