BrainPower® Specifications
Brain training software
Dual N-Back Brain Training
- Our program implements the original Jaeggi et al (2008) dual n-back brain training exercise.
- This is the only n-back version with scientifically demonstrated memory and IQ gains.
- In addition to the standard Jaeggi exercise there is a more challenging n-back exercise, preventing ‘chunking’ strategies which can occur with the original version.
- Unlimited dual n-back training.
Unique N-Back Options
Additional n-back options, unique to Brain Power® include:
- Audio, Visual (practice) and Dual (audio plus visual) modes.
- Choice of different speed settings. The faster time setting halves training time.
- 20 block, 10/10, and 10 block modes – allowing your training program to match your schedule.
- Audio error feedback option. Error feedback improves learning.
- English, German, Italian and Spanish language options.
- Letters and numbers options for dual n-back audio mode.
- Different language versions for the task: English, German, Spanish, Italian.
- Multiple Profiles – with different option settings – stored simultaneously.
