Fluid Memory Study in PDF format
Until the last decade, it was thought that the brain stopped growing and developing when we reach adulthood.
Neuroscience has now conclusively demonstrated that we have the ability to improve our mental abilities through brain fitness exercises. Our brains can actually grow, change and evolve based on what we do -- or don't do -- through our entire lifespan.
One of most important aspects of intelligence is called "fluid intelligence." According to Wikipedia, "Fluid intelligence is the ability to find meaning in confusion and solve new problems."
The training method for increasing each of our levels of fluid intelligence is called "Dual N-Back." The value of this memory task was demonstrated by Susanne M. Jaeggi, Martin Buschkueh and colleges in a seminal study conducted in 2007 at the University of Bern, Switzerland (see link to complete paper at top of page).
Since that time, a variety of online and software training programs have been developed to teach the Dual N-Back technique including the open source Brain Workshop that I reviewed in this post.
More recently, Brain Fitness Pro was released by UK developer Martin G. Walker. The interface of the program is quite a bit more user friendly than the open source Dual N-Back trainer.
Dual N-Back is a memory task in which two independent sequences are presented simultaneously, typically using different types of stimuli. A common implementation is when one auditory and one visual are given at the same time and your goal is to remember both. In Mind Sparke Brain Fitness Pro, the visual stimuli are squares that show up as white on black.
The auditory stimuli are voices that pronounce letters from the alphabet in your choice of male and female.
The results of each block is displayed your home base screen. As you move through each session, you’ll see your hits, misses, and the current value of “N” which will change according to your success level. Your improvement over time is displayed as a graph on the “history” screen (see first screen screen shot).
According to the the folks at Mind Sparke, their customers have reported increases in their fluid memory as shown in the chart below.

















The breakthrough Release Meter Neurofeedback Personal Development System from iCap Technologies that I have written about previously has released new versions of its software and EEG biofeedback computer hardware.
