  @CalebTheGuitarist less than 10% but yes, the brain is capable of developing a much more intrecate neural network than an average person developes during his/her life

  develop, access, whatever. am i wrong to say we only use less than 1% of our brain? thats what ive always heard…

  That would be the case if dual n-back, the test shown in video, used the same or similar sequence over and over again. Instead it forces you to constantly shift your working memory improving your ability to process information which is the purpose of all this mental workout

  according the paper, the control group did improve, probably due to reasons you just outlined, but the significant thing is the improvement in the trained group was well above the improvement of the control group on the test.

  Does this make sense? I hope I was helpful…

  So, the participants didn’t get better via a trial and error method (learning from experience) but instead through the training they received while playing Dual-n-back, which apparently is linked to increasing one’s working memory; working memory which is closely associated to fluid intelligence.

  What is actually mentioned in the video is the fact that the participants that were part of the experimental group actually improved on solving “new” problems presented to them after consistent Dual-n-back training regimes.

  your exactly right. that seems very likely. but i do still find this interesting.. the brain is a powerful thing. we take it for granted BIG time. if only we had access to our entire brains… who knows what secrets we could unlock

  If I see a type of problem, fail it, but see it again, I get better. I don’t think my IQ changes though. I just know which direction not to go. Could that be what happened during the second test?

  dlamberson: If we don’t have minds then how are we individuals? Everyone sees out of their one eyes and lives in their own body. How is this possible without a mind or spirit?

  Around 0:40 he says that they were able to solve new problems more efficiently.

  shut up, with your “mind” shit! I’m sick of it
• patmathis Says:

  So you gave a test, then regave it, and the second time around people got better scores?

  Surely you jest.

  i dont think so. not unless they were told before the testing, “practicing this will actually make you smarter!”…but that would break basic experimental procedure.
• Confuzedd Says:
  March 16th, 2010 at 9:11 pm

  hmmm, anyone here think it could be placebo? Or maybe the actual score increase was from the increased confidence in volunteers?

  Its not the brain!The brain is a pattern map
  for physical signals only…Therefore it’s the
  mind becoming relaxed with itself…or pure flow of sef intel!I have used this plenty of
  times…
