On: You can increase your intelligence

http://sourceforge.net/projects/brainworkshop/ is an open-source implementation of the dual n-back test for Windows, Linux, and OS-X.

"Following training of working memory using the dual n-back test, the subjects were indeed able to transfer those gains to a significant improvement in their score on a completely unrelated cognitive task. This was a super-big deal."

FYI, this game crashed on me at launch (W2K8 R2). Setting the exe to run under WinXP compat mode made it work.

It's also devilishly hard. Dual 1-back is easy, but Dual 2-back is surprisingly difficult. I think it'd be fun to get good at this :).

I usually play it at d9b with 2,5 sec intervals. I intend to advance higher though.
