Working Memory Workout

Project Description
Working Memory Workout is a working memory training game based on the N-back, a task researchers say may improve fluid intelligence.

It greatly expands on the N-back, with dynamic difficulty adjustment, 13 game modes, 61 stimuli, 4 time modes, and a difficulty-ratcheting helper.
