Frequently Asked Questions
This is hard. What if my score is low?
That's completely normal! N-Back is designed to be challenging. The goal isn't to get a perfect score, but to persist. Every session, regardless of the score, is an effective workout for your brain. We value completion over perfection.
How often should I train?
Studies suggest that consistent training of 15-20 minutes per day yields the best results. You can start with a few short rounds daily to build the habit. Remember, consistency is more important than duration.
