IQ Pushups

I've been playing with Brain Workshop lately. It's a free (open source) software that implements the dual task n-back exercise and lets you play with different levels of difficulty.

What is n-back?
According to some recent research this is brain-training that actually works. Do it 20 minutes per day for a few weeks and chances are you'll be measurably smarter (for a very specific definition of smart)!
Like with physical exercise mileage could vary, but it's still pretty fascinating news.

So nothing surprising in the sudden spike of intelligence at this blog.
