What is the N-Back Test?
Working Memory Training
The n-back task is one of the most researched working memory exercises. It challenges you to continuously update and monitor information in your mind.
Dual Task Challenge
Our dual n-back variant requires tracking two streams simultaneously: spatial position in a grid and verbal letters. This engages multiple working memory systems.
How It Works
Track Position
A square lights up in a 3x3 grid. Press 'A' when the position matches N steps back.
Track Letter
A letter appears with each stimulus. Press 'L' when the letter matches N steps back.
Increasing Difficulty
Start at 1-back and progress to 2-back and 3-back as you master each level.

Attention Control
The dual-task nature of n-back helps develop your ability to focus attention and resist distractions.
Memory Updating
