Stage: 3

Session number: 37

Average n-back: 3.35

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 – Russ – Stage 3, Session 19

Stage: 3

Session number: 19

Average n-back: 3

Wow! I kicked some butt on this session. I had taken two days off from training because of other obligations, but I’m noticing that when I have
“time off,” I seem to do better the next session. This was my best yet. First time averaging n=3. I even completed two consecutive n=4 blocks. All aspects of the hit/miss factor graph, sky-rocketed. I won’t be surprised tomorrow if my average drops again. My brain must be working better now, though physical experiences are subtle–for me anyways.

Brain Training Report – Aaron – Stage 3, Session 32

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

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!

Brain Training Report – Russ – Stage 3, Session 12

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

Stage: 3

Session number: 12

Average n-back: 2.7

Well, I must say this was my best session yet. I actually made it to n=4 for the first time, with 4 hits and 3 misses. I guess my brain is really working well with this. We’ll see how “outside” improvements fair.

slight improvement – Russell – Stage 3, Session 11

Monday, November 14th, 2011

Stage: 3

Session number: 11

Average n-back: 2.55

I must say that n=3 has become easier since about 4 sessions ago, when I was struggling. My brain must be working better, right? I’m not noticing much difference at work, in fact, it seems like I’ve been screwing up more lately. But with limited sleep, part time school for engineering (hard as hell), and a family to raise, it’s hard to tell if I’ll ever actually notice a difference. Maybe it’ll be subtle.

Question – Ed

Stage: 3

Session number: 9

Average n-back: 3

Hi,

If I miss a few days of training, is it worth doing a few more sessions for the next day possible?

Will this help or just be too much?

Many Thanks,

Ed

Stage: 3

Session number: 29

Average n-back: 3.15

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.
