What is Dual N-Back Training?

Dual N-Back is one of the few brain training exercises shown in research to improve fluid intelligence and working memory. You must track both a visual position and an audio letter, indicating when either matches what appeared N steps earlier. This trains the exact cognitive systems used when holding information in mind while reading.
