Although I have had a few blocks where I had no misses, I still have not been bumped up to anything higher than 2.0, is there a difference in using a MAC as opposed to a PC, as I am feeling disheartened that I am stuck on 2

Having hard time with n=4. It’s a little easier if i murmur the series for myself, but with n=4 i barely have time to repeat it. Is it normal or should i try to do everything in complete silence?
cheers,
N.

Today’s session ended up being somewhat the reverse of yesterday’s — more focus toward the end than at the beginning. Ending up with a nice run on n=10.

After 30 sessions of “nines” I’ve switched back to regular dual n-back for a while. This began out of curiosity but has resolved into a challenge. I wanted to see whether training with “nines” had had any impact on my ability at regular dual n-back. I’ve discovered that I’m finding regular dual n-back quite tricky after a few months away.
I started in with a 7.95, right around where I left off. On Saturday when I trained I scored well below my recent par (7.3). And today was better at 8.15.
It seems logical that transitioning back and forth between variations of dual n-back maintains the challenge of the training and helps work different aspects of working memory…

Reached a new high, 7.95 which was then followed up by a 2nd highest score ever at 7.65. Previous best was at 7.55
I am mildly disappointed to fall short of 8 by such a small margin, but quite happy to continue to improve on BF pro even after many sessions. Evidence that it is possible to raise N levels after a long on and off training period which in my case is now over 1 year.
I am not sure what to attribute this gain to, except that I have started something called super brain yoga about a week back. This is an ancient Eastern technique that has now been marketed to Westerners. I would advise not spending a dime on the book though, given that the exercise is easy to do and a how to can be found online. I do not swear by this or any brain improvement technique but I do try many of them out.
Quick caveat:
Correlation is not causation.
There really are a myriad of other things that may have caused a boost in my N back other than this yoga for the brain — which used to be, and I think still is, a punishment for misbehaving school kids in India.
I would add too that I cannot say that this improvement in dual n back is at all meaningful in any context, other than a gain in N. Still, a gain in N it is.

Mind blowing – Already I have noticed a marked increase in my capacity to study and retain knowledge.
I only scored 19/30 on the Mensa test at the start.
I am really enjoying this stuff -

And I squeezed in another training session later in the day… but my focus had dropped after an afternoon of work.

I had to split this session over two days (yesterday and today) due to time constraints. The second half of the session was a lot more focused than the first!
