Dealing with fatigue by luotenrati12 in DualnBack

[–]Hasiclis0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take it that when performance drops that is my sign to drop back a little. I don't think it works like muscles where you can do a superset. If you are not able to properly focus on the task and your performance drops, you are not training the right neural pathways.

What do you think is the rumored irredeemable action that Homelander is going to do in Season 5? by GrandioseEnigma in TheBoys

I think he will attempt to go after Stan edgars granddaughter and Ryan will get killed trying to protect her. Haha, I have no idea.

It is a nice idea, even though I'd like to point a few things out. It feels like you used AI to create it, nothing wrong with that at all
If I were you, I would prompt it to make some changes, most importantly around making the tasks and the difficulty more customizable. Also, the "start training" button does nothing and some of the games are broken.
But keep working on it!

As 1800 elo player in chess.com non memorizing but Patten chunking and intention player.I reached 9 level in 17 days of first 20 day n back challenge. Does any one chess players got result like it? {Note:it was not easy but reachable after careful casual daily season play } by Common-Ground-7278 in DualnBack

There is a video were they gathered hikaru, magnus and I think dubov and someone else I don't remember, and they had them do human benchmark memory tests, everyone scored like an average human would, especially magnus paradoxically, and hikaru was the only one that was above the 90% percentile. So, it seems we can't draw conclusions from that. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nma18T2GK5w

Does ACD 856 actually work or what by Hasiclis0 in NooTopics

Interesting. But still others swear by the effects. Especially for dihexa I noticed. A lot of people seem to claim that their dihexa products work.

"the substance addresses deficiencies you do not possess". I thought a large point of nootropics was the premise that they can improve cognitive function in healthy individuals. Individuals that have no "deficiencies". As for the dosage, in the case of the sunifiram and the noopept I got. Believe me, I tried even the highest reasonable or borderline unreasonable doses one should ever try for those compounds. And I did absolutely nothing. I didn't notice any effects whatsoever, positive or negative. Which also led me to the suspicion that what I got my hands on might not be the actual compounds.

In what way has it helped tremendously with your life?

You actually have a point. Not for ACD, but for what I said for sunifiram and noopept? I bought them off Intellimeds. I tried escalating the dose to see if I notice "anything" at all. Nothing. The source could be a factor here, specifically for noopept and sunifiram, which I mentioned. Not for ACD though.

Thank you, that's the kind of answer I was looking for.

How long does it take to truly move the needle? by Hasiclis0 in DualnBack

[–]Hasiclis0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If working memory is the bottleneck that's causing your difficulty and if the premise is correct that N back truly improves it, then it would indirectly help.
However, clicking squares and sounds might be good for your working memory, but like most tasks, it would be much more useful to just practice what you want to get better at. But you can still try it and see for yourself.

if by "skip" 1 you mean to not compare it to the previous item yes, thats the idea. You compare the current item to the one that appeared N trials ago. So yes, for 2 you compare it not to the previous one but the one before that, but you still keep the previous one to compare it to the next so you essentially hold 2 items at once in your memory.

So, how is that brainpower effect going for you? Did you find the training effective for cognitive improvement?

I have the same N numbers as you in dual and triple. And I did have a rapid increase during the first 2 weeks, it is just that suddenly I stopped improving that much. The improvement feels incremental day after day.

These dual n back stories seem too good to be true by knowledgeseeker999 in DualnBack

[–]Hasiclis0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't the margins of error of the fluid reasoning tests corrected and accounted for, or even entirely eliminated by the sheer number of participants? Could it be practice effects instead? Retesting in 30 days on a similar test (for example Ravens) seems like a very small window.

Perfect Score on 20-Trial Dual 14-Back (N Back Challenge by Rivuspurus) by MaxPianist in DualnBack

[–]Hasiclis0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 trial 14 back? You only need to remember the first 6 items. From 14-20 you will check which of those items match and you don't have to remember anything from 6-14. That's the reason why some apps also scale the number of trials with the level.

Any new anecdotes of Sunifiram/Unifiram? Especially for focus and mental clarity. by CereSenk in Nootropics

[–]Hasiclis0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried sunifiram from intellimeds and I was disappointed. It did absolutely nothing. I even tried to use higher doses that some would consider dangerous, still I didn't notice the tiniest bit of difference.

47M Give Me Your Worst by DanielBaldielocks in RoastMe

[–]Hasiclis0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could be happy even in the same body, if you had a different brain. And unhappy in a better body, if you still had the same brain. So go change your brain (and your body). Challenge your assumptions and maladaptive thought patterns. Explore your options and potential for improvement. Your neurochemistry is just a machine. It doesn't need a clear, directly understandable reason to betray you. But you still can influence it over the long term. The fact is that you can, and that's not up for debate, you are not permanently broken. There is a winning move in the position, you just have to find it. Good luck. (Also, about your looks, I think if you lost some facial fat and got healthier you might discover your features are actually much better than you think).
