why aren't you becoming smarter by practicing it for 10 minutes a day?

I don't want to become smarter. I'd rather be dumber, actually Anyone knows any non-invasive lobotomy methods?

>muh prefrontal cortex
fun fact, the inferior parietal cortex is more developed in men than women, and its used for things like math and tool use

This is why people don't take neuroscience seriously.

Funnily enough, that's unironically the motivation behind electroconvulsive therapy. Look into it.

No it isn't. ECT is an artificial seizure.

Psychiatric meds are the discount lobotomy replacement.

So how do you actually train dual n-back? I improved my score because I got smarter about what I remember at any given point in time (you should partition the entire duration into chunks of size n, rather than just attempting to store the past n ones for every point in time), but that does not sound like brain gains to me

It targets the same region of the brain as lobotomy. The whole point is damage to that node alleviates mania and depressive symptoms.

I do quad n-back. Don't think its helping that much, but I am getting slightly better at n-backing. The only real gains for me is I can focus on stuff before my brain starts to hurt longer. I have only been doing it for a few months though. I plan on going for about 2.5 years to see if there are any real changes. Its fun, replaced my daily gaming for the most part.

Just scroll TikTok for days in brain rot short content for months. Don't think and you'll experience brain degeneration

Where did you get that idea? It’s wrong. Read Sargant's "Introduction to Physical Methods of Treatment in Psychiatry".

This is as much neuroscience as what dario nardi does, i.e not at all
