It's been a while since I looked there, time got away. The discussion was in a google group, IIRC. Anyway, the idea is that the user is presented with a tic-tac-toe grid and a circle appears in one of the eight exterior squares. At the same time, in synchrony, a voice repeats a word. When either the position or voice repeats, if it is the proper n-back (1 previons, 2 previous, etc.), the user hits the accept button for that channel. There are people who can do this perfectly for 8-back, and even higher. It's challenging. IIRC, unzip the file into a directory, cd into the directory, and type ./brainworkshop to run the game. I think the default is dual 2-back, so 2 channels, and match for 2 previous. I think it is the two index fingers (F and J) that indicate matches for the two channels. The age doesn't really matter, since the game is basically evolved to its final form, mimicking the research that inspired it. It's not like excel and word, where bells and whistles are constantly added to sell a new version. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
