Day 34 (golly, I've hardly had to count past 32 for a long while),
I found this video on increasing brain power:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc7NNr8KnYs
It included Dual n-back, as well as a 1,000 - 10,000+$ treatment (EEG Neurofeedback), which has some research that says Neurofeedback raises IQ by 12 points (on average). It works by feeding back the audio of your brainwaves back at your brain, and your brain heals itself.
There's another device called the "Peanut", like a headband that you put on your head; 5 minutes with the device, and it raises your score on some standardized focus test by 1 point. The peanut costs about 900 USD.
I didn't realize that Dual n-back can increase your IQ by roughly 10 points (if you can cap out your skill, which could be n=7 to n=9). It didn't take long
I got back into Dual n-back; yesterday and today, I managed to get up to n=5 and stay there. I've never gotten so far before (and stayed).
I've also just bought Gingko Boloba and popped one earlier today; I'll use 2 per day. On the same trip, I bought Mass Effects 1,2, & 3 (3-pack), pre-ordered a JS Mill and Thomas Paine book, and bought Beard Oil (much less itch!).
The Stuttering subliminal seems to have fallen back in progress; I don't feel comfortable to speaking my mind at full speed on the fly. I've been completely capable of doing it before; so it's frustrating.
The MLS subliminal doesn't feel like it's working, BUT... from one read-through of an article on the neurobiology of reward systems, I've remembered (without really trying to) that the reward system of the brain is based upon the GABAenic D-type medium length spiny neuron. And that there are D1 types and D2 types (didn't dig further). Something like that. So it's definitely got an impact.
However, any new German word just washes over me, even when I attempt to use mnemonic tools. Fortunately, Germans speak very clearly, so when I put this into practice, it won't be TOO difficult.
I've also submitted my course for Udemy, and it looks like it will get accepted very soon. $$$ !!
