N-Back

An app to train working memory. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-back.

There are many different implementation of this exercise available. I started this project to try several ideas of my own. First idea - noisy shapes - this idea is based on the premise that brain focuses far more on noisy/blurry images thus one session should have greater impact on your brain activity. You should learn faster.

Second idea is based on the positive/negative response from playing - assuming that the more spectacular evaluation response is given the better should be the overall performance. None of this ideas are scientifically justifiable - basically just experiments - final goal of this application should be statistical analysis of gathered data.

My tips on playing - no rehearsing, picture previous items in your head - it should be as effortless as possible, no strategies for different levels. My reason is following - you are trying to improve your efficiency in real life - you never now which 'n' you are going to need and when you are going to need it, your brain should do this exercise ideally all the time in the background so you can access data from relatively short past.
