Hi.

I'm new at user of the Dual N-Back and just starting I had the first questions that I can't understand from that wonderful utility.

Sometimes it's showing the shape and color but not the sound. It makes me impossible to continue and gets a better % success.

I wonder if someone can help me to understand how it's working really.

Regards.

something similar to this procedure helped stop the same problem for
me:

'
I was able to resolve this by adjusting sound settings. Control
panel/
Sound and Audio Devices Prop/Audio/Sound playback - realtek hd.. -
Advanced/Performance, then setting hardware acceleration to one above
none and sample rate conversion quality to medium. So far so good.

'

adjust the audio hardware acceleration downward/off and it may resolve
the issue if i understand you correctly.

You are welcome.

Happy dual nbacking.

It seems to me that the tide is split here on whether dnb is
cognitively beneficial (what percent splint i dont know, but may 25%
or more say they feel it is useless)

I can not say that it raises my IQ.........or doesnt.


When i first started, i had difficulty doing dnb2. I mean, yes, i
probly could have done it at default settings, but i didnt like the
low initial scores...........however, in short order i was pretty good
at dnb2.


I am currently on dnb5, and altho i restart several of the games, at
the default settings i am scoring 80s and 90s.

My mind feels faster. I also seem to have less mental fatigue during
studying, nbacking, etc. I am more confident. I am confident that my
memory has improved independent of nbacking (what they call 'far
transfer' effect).


I am not saying it is a HUGE difference.

I can not say the same is true for any supplement i have taken other
than possibly some small effect with magnesium l-threonate which also
seems to make me 'less mentally tired' in particular, interestingly.


every other supplement i have ever tried does not seem to affect my
mind (as in cognitive benefit) in any way or shape that seemed
perceivable.
