Brain Boot Camp

Is getting more exercise among your New Year's resolutions? Well, how about some training for your brain instead? Researchers have put people through a series of brain exercises - a "brain boot camp" - and found that just like exercise for your body, exercise for your brain pays off. http://www.sciencentral.com/video/

What is actually mentioned in the video is the fact that the participants that were part of the experimental group actually improved on solving "new" problems presented to them after consistent Dual-n-back training regimes.

tried the first trial.. 15round .. each round 1 minutes.. 3-dual-back is hard for me.. even 2-dual-back couldn't get it perfect.. we'll see how it works !.. 1 day 1 trial .. lumosity.com :)

It's how many steps you have to think back.

1-back means you only need to remember the last letter/position set you saw and check the current set with the last one.

2-back means you need to remember the last 2 sets you saw and check the current one with the penultimate one.

It's called n-back because the possible difficulty is limitless.

[Diabolo2000]

I simply can't do the 2-back or harder exercise.

While I am giving my best it seems to be impossible for me.

what happens when a person who thrives to show creativity , but lacks mentally to expand physically to portray what they are able to do with a little "push"

Things like this shouldn't be frowned upon, but be taken to the test, and build upon cases to apply in real world strategies. Yes small games are what had been demonstrated but what happens" subconsciously" to unlock that person's creativity is through small exercises to expand that defined area...
