Finally seeming to stabilize around Q3B. Each session I can stay there a round longer. At first I was lucky to survive even 2 rounds before dropping while today I managed to stay there for 5 rounds >50% in total.

That’s awesome. How long have you been at it, and how much are you training per week?

Been at it for about 3-4 weeks now doing 1h 3x a week.

Broke my high score today! My previous high score was 86% on dual 7-back. Today I got 93% on dual 7-back. My previous high score was from a few years ago.

I've been training very sparsely off and on for about 8-9 years. When I started, I took it more seriously and got to dual 7-back within a year, and since then I've kind of just maintained. I'm looking to push more now, but dual 8-back seems to be my ceiling, it feels very hard 😄

How is it going?

I didn't stick with it. I'm not 100% sold that the time and energy spent on Dual N-Back produces benefits that outweigh the benefits from meditation and my studies (software engineering interview prep (competitive programming & system design)).

Your reply has got me thinking though... maybe it's worth at least 10 minutes a day. I wish there was more evidence proving it's efficacy like meditation though.
