There is a video demonstration that explains how to train with this task - please watch this if you are having any trouble understanding how to train with Dual N-back:
http://youtu.be/n3eDn60HTMQ

This video describes the Dual N-back training technique. The exercise is proven to effectively increase working memory and fluid intelligence. By training with this technique for approximately 30 days it is possible to increase your IQ by as much as 40%.

This is a simple and effective way to increase your IQ.

I've had a few questions about my personal results, so I will briefly describe them here. I discovered Dual N-back training because I failed to meet the requirements to join MENSA (min. 132 IQ score). I took two of their privately administered IQ tests; about a month later I received a rejection letter. :(

I did some research into mental training techniques and read about the study that was conducted with Dual N-back. I trained with the task for 2 months. After training I consulted with a private psychologist. He administered the WAIS-III IQ test for me. Comparing my post-training results to an IQ score just below the MENSA cut off, I would say that I experienced an approximate gain of 15% in IQ score.

There are many different views on what this score means, but I won't go into too much detail here. I believe it suffices to say that at one point in time I scored well on a test. Nothing more, nothing less.

You can train on the Dual N-back task for free at:

  • I don't understand this game.. there is always visual and audio!? please explain. thanks

  • @carpozi22 I made a short demonstration video that helps explain it. Look in the description of this video where I've placed a link to the explanation.

    Hope this helps - good luck!

  • @ClearMindMeditation

    I saw you other video, but I just wanna make sure I got this right.

    I am gonna give you and example ignoring the audio (obviously) and please tell me if I got it correct (assuming N=2)

    sequence is: a d a d w s e s e

    so you would hit match for : the second a, the second d, the second s and the second e

    or you would hit match for : the second a and the second e only!?

    Please reply and thanks

  • @carpozi22 You've got it!

    You would hit the button for the second a, second d, second s and second e.

    Every time the stimuli repeats at the n-back level you are training, you would press the button to register a match.

  • I got to 6 N-back after 1 months and 5 days of practicing. I practiced everyday, for 20 minutes during that period (probably missed 3 or 4 days). Quite unbelievable to get to 6 N-back.

    And thanks, your video got me started! I am interested to see how much my IQ changed compared to last year, I will try to redo the mensa IQ test when they let me, I dont know if they do once you are a member. Will report back.

  • @farsh66 That's great to hear. Getting to 6-back in one month is quite an accomplishment.

    Just from personal experience, I believe that an IQ test administered by a health professional will give you a more accurate result. You may be able to find a local school that provides testing services. If you do take another test, I'd love to hear your results.

    Either way, thanks for the comment - I'm glad that this video encouraged you!

    thank you so much.. :)

    this can get really hard once you get advanced!!

  • @Ramiromasters Even a small affect can have great impact over time. Mental development is something that is best viewed as a long-term commitment.

    The type of knowledge you describe would take at least a decade of constant growth. Reading and applying your intellect to problems is the only way your mind will develop the way that you want. There is no magic pill; it just takes dedication and practice. The rewards are worth it.

  • @ClearMindMeditation Well I'm really interested in all that subject, but I'm just not so sure it works. I mean I wouldn't even mind if its a small amount like 5%. But solving small video game problems or becoming slightly better at mental adding and stuff is not what I'm looking for, I'm talking about lets say watching Obama on tv he mentions the word "yes we can" and your brain brings up a memory of a book on crowd manipulation. Do you think expanding awareness its possible?

  • @WeAreChuckNorris I understand where you are coming from, however It can be dangerous to generalize like that. I'd agree that an egotistical perspective doesn't suit a truly intelligent person.
