Online Brain Training Competition: Expressions of Interest
Simon Bevan
I'm looking for expressions of interest for an online brain training competition: the aim of the game would be to achieve the highest amount of improvement/progress as possible within a uniform (same for each competitor) amount of time.
The rules would be fairly "no-hold-barred" as per use of nootropics: you can use whichever nootropics, synthetic or botannical, that you want, any combination of those you think would work; just make sure to consider safety factors when choosing what to include in a stack (if you know what you're doing, this is a non-issue).
So far, I'm considering holding competitions for the following:
- Dual n-back - http://www.iqmindware.com/brain-training-apps
- PASAT http://cognitivefun.net/test/15
- The Cambridge Brain Sciences Challenge -http://www.cambridgebrainsciences.com/challenge/introduction
- Working memory trainer (free app available from Apple appstore) I also recommend this as a fantastic training tool as preparation for anyone considering participating.
The general format would be to hold a real-time competition using some video-conferencing platform or similar; and probably also some kind of video capture - any recommendations are welcome.
Other ideas for other challenges/skills to include are welcome.
Details on the format of the competition TBA: proposed dates would be around late November/early December - subject to popular vote.
Anyone interested can respond to this post with:
a) preferred competition area e.g. dual n-back, PASAT etc...
b) preferred date and time
c) level of experience with brain training (for fair placement into suitable categories)
