How to Rebuild an Attention Span (2013)

I found this info: http://gazzaleylab.ucsf.edu/neuroscience-projects/neuroracer...

> 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.

Thanks :) I also found that, which was a bit disappointing, but maybe they come out with something soon.

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/

IIRC, gwern dabbles in dual n-back, and I think he's got some decent stuff written up about it. Worth taking a look for anyway.
