Brain Training Report – Miguel – Stage 2, Session 2

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Stage: 2

Session number: 2

Average n-back: 5.4

So i’m back on track. Was able to go up to 6n on the first exercise and to 4n in the second. I’m exercising daily, keeping my brain active with chess, go, logic and math, reading lots, sleeping well. I’ve cut down on coffee (from 4 cups a day to 2) and drinking green/black tea instead, and lots of water. I’m feeling great. Wide awake, active, and im starting to notice improvements in memory… I feel quite agile and am very motivated :-)

Thanks for the great program!

My best session thus far on level 3. I actually stayed on 4 a few times. I am still going to keep trying to get my goal of 3.5 consistently before going to level 4. God Bless!

Brain Training Report – Aaron – Stage 3, Session 32

Stage: 3

Session number: 32

Average n-back: 3.30

My best session so far. The best advice is not to get discouraged on level 3. It is constantly 2 steps forward 1 step back 2 steps forward 3 steps back process. I am finally over 3 every time but it took a lot of sessions, with a few cuss words, to get to this point. Good luck!

I am staying above over 3 average for the session now but not gaining much from there. Just need to keep chopping the wood, I guess!

My second best session on level 3. It is nice to be able to finally stay above n-3 on consecutive sessions. Hope to keep seeing progress. 3.50 is my next goal on this level, not sure 1f 4.0 is feasible for me on level 3.

Creating an optimum environment.

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

Stage: 3

Session number: 1

Average n-back: 2.5

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to create the perfect serene environment for maximum concentration.

At the moment, I switch off the lights, turn on two aromatherapeutic candles and put the screen on “full screen”.

Is this an effective way of training or is it bad for my eyes?

I’d love to hear your methods and what you find to be the best way to get the most out of your training.

regards,

John Chalmers.
