No matter what your playstyle is, you’ll find it in Paladins. With Paladins’ deckbuilding system, you can become an iron sights sniper, a grenade-slinging explosives expert, or a track star with an assault rifle – all as the same Champion.
Brain Workshop is a free open-source version of the dual n-back brain training exercise.
- I cannot provide you with a Mac, Linux, or Android build of the game right now. The demo is updated frequently. If the demo doesn't run smoothly for you, please wait for a future update with improved performance. This demo is roughly representative of the final game, but the final game will be much more polished than the demo.

What if a simple mental exercise could improve your memory and intelligence?
A 2008 study published in the PNAS scientific journal shows that a memory task called dual n-back may improve working memory (short term memory) and fluid intelligence. These findings are important because fluid intelligence was previously thought to be unchangeable.
Those findings have since been replicatedtwice with strongly positive results, and twomore times in smaller studies with weaker, but still positive, results.
Brain Workshop implements this dual n-back task, and allows you to attempt to improve your own working memory and fluid intelligence. The dual n-back task involves remembering a sequence of spoken letters and a sequence of positions of a square at the same time, and identifying when a letter or position matches the one that appeared earlier. Brain Workshop can closely replicate the conditions of the original study. In addition, it also includes optional extended game modes such as Triple N-Back and Arithmetic N-Back for extra challenge. It also includes features such as statistics tracking, graphs and configurability.
Anecdotal evidence from users suggests that the dual n-back task can also enhance focus and attention and may help improve the symptoms of ADHD/ADD.
Brain Workshop works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Since its initial release in August 2008, Brain Workshop has been downloaded over 775,000 times! Windows 10 disk image for mac pro 2017.
