Would love to try if the game was in any way available. Are there similar options out there?
> A company Adam Gazzaley co-founded, Akili Interactive Labs (http://www.akiliinteractive.com/), is now developing a clinical product in the form of a mobile video game (“Project: EVO”) that is based on the technology behind NeuroRacer. The company is currently running clinical trials which will validate the utility of the new game for use in specific populations. Until those trials are complete, the game will not be available to the general public. We suggest that you go to the Akili website for further news or additional inquiries.
That leads me here: http://www.brain.akiliinteractive.com/. A game has not yet been released but is available in some form for clinical trial.
I found "dual n-back" while looking around, which (controversially) claims some "fluid" and working intelligence boosting - I'll give that a try. It's over here: http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/
While I have made marked improvement in the games in the app, after reading the article I'm wondering if this is what the author is referring to as "lightly dressed-up versions of classic psychology paradigms"
In my experience I haven't noticed any of the illusive "transfer" of skills that NeuroRacer is designed to produce. So for now I will continue to use the app daily with a healthy amount of skepticism.
