Strong Mind Mazes vs NBack Game

Clinical-grade brain training built on 40 years of cognitive neuroscience. Used by Dr. Donalee Markus with concussion and traumatic brain injury patients, NASA scientists, and corporate executives since 2003. Strong Mind Mazes is not a casual puzzle game. It is a hierarchical cognitive-restructuring exercise designed to engage neuroplasticity through deliberate, progressive challenge. The same approach featured in Clark Elliott's "The Ghost in My Brain." WHAT IT TRAINS • Concentration and sustained attention • Working memory and mental manipulation • Multi-variable problem solving • Reduced impulsivity through deliberate planning • Carryover skills that translate to daily life THE PROGRAM • 5 hierarchical difficulty levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Accelerated, Advanced, and Expert • Over 1,000,000 maze variations for ample rehearsal • A wide palette of colors, patterns, and graphics that promote engagement without overstimulation WHO IT'S FOR • Concussion and post-concussion recovery • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation • Stroke recovery • Adults seeking cognitive maintenance and resilience • Executives, professionals, and athletes wanting a sharper edge • Used by clinicians as an adjunct to standard rehabilitation THE SCIENCE Effective problem-solving and decision-making are based, at least in part, on the number of variables a problem solver can evaluate at once. With deliberate rehearsal, individuals can learn to increase that number — reducing impulsivity and developing the mental filter that supports planning before acting. This is built on a neurocognitive model emphasizing Attention, Intention, and Rehearsal — three pillars drawn from Dr. Markus's clinical practice and from her post-doctoral training under Reuven Feuerstein, the father of teachable intelligence. ABOUT THE DEVELOPER Dr. Donalee Markus earned her Ph.D. at Northwestern University in 1983 and has been in clinical practice in cognitive restructuring ever since. Her work has been featured in Psychology Today, in Clark Elliott's book "The Ghost in My Brain," and in peer-reviewed publication in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America. Institutional clients include NASA, the U.S. Federal Court System, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Encyclopaedia Britannica.

NBack game is an implementation of an N-back task where the player needs to match sound and selected position N times ago. It has been proved many times in many types of research that regular playing this type of games help to improve short and long term memory. The game offers 25 rounds with different level of difficulty, you need to decide if the sound or/and position were the same N rounds ago, at the end of the game you will see a summary board with your results. When you complete a level successfully you unlock the next level. If you do not how to play you will find a tutorial explaining how to play with examples.
