I see the ads for luminocity, and was curious if the act of constantly forcing your brain into a problem solving mentality can create a development. Do the mental exercised really create more mental endurance, depth and dynamics of thought process?

Practicing those things will let you get better at the specific activity in the trainer. It will not increase your general brain skills.  I believe learning a 2nd language (including learning to read music to play an instrument) are still the best overall brain exercisers.  

You basically need to train in the area you want to improve. If weak in math, train in math. etc

Yes, they work.  For the same reasons that meditation works.  You are training yourself to reach a certain state of mind.. the more you do it the easier it gets.

I'll think about it and let you know.
