Huh. It's been a while since I looked there, time got away.
The
discussion was in a google group, IIRC. Anyway, the idea is that the
user is presented with a tic-tac-toe grid and a circle appears in one
of the eight exterior squares. At the same time, in synchrony, a voice
repeats a word. When either the position or voice repeats, if it is
the proper n-back (1 previons, 2 previous, etc.), the user hits the
accept button for that channel. There are people who can do this
perfectly for 8-back, and even higher. It's challenging.
Thanx. I may try it some day when I can play a noisy game without
intruding on others as I don't live alone and don't have a place for
such things. With any luck, I'll have a better setup here within a month.
Also, this project shares a common problem of amateur games: the coders
forget that most people don't know the obscure technical terms they're
using and never bother to explain what the program does or how to use
it. Not many people are likely to try something like this just to find
out what it does, especially if the rules aren't intuitively obvious to
a complete beginner.
