The game involves remembering a sequence of spoken letters and a sequence of positions of a square at the same time. Brain Workshop includes additional challenging game modes beyond Dual N-Back.
ChangeBlindness is a small game that demonstrates the change blindness phenomenon. The effect shows that our brains have a low-level (i.e. subconscious) change detection capability that can be disabled pretty easily (for instance, with a flicker of around 100ms). The game illustrates this using an increasing number of icons, one of which will change during a flicker. The goal of the game is to find the changing icon as quickly as possible.
Math Volcano is a Javascript Web application for memorizing multiplication tables through "12 x 12." Individual and cumulative clock time information is shown in a table. Each "level" can be repeated until the clock times are satisfactory. Cookies are used to store the clock time information for five days after the session. Student interest is increased by allowing them to repeat individual levels to improve their clock times. After completing all levels, the sleeping volcano awakens!
