Dual N-back, astronomy, meetups

I learned about dual N-back tasks the other day which have been shown to increase fluid intelligence (gF).
This site describes it well, and has an entry level test (only dual tests increase IQ):

This site is the best online site (close to the original protocol):

If you read the study, it’s interesting to note that it doesn’t matter how high you N value is.

I missed the Bay Area Artificial Intelligence Meetup Group because I overslept.  However, I watched some of the video by the CYC guy anyway and I look forward to the next meetup.  In the meantime I signed up for the SF New Tech Meetup which might be fun…

We went to Chabot Science Center last night to see a planetarium show.  G left early, but I liked it.  I want to look at more astronomy stuff in relation to the crazy focus of the esoteric tradition.  Microsoft has a free astronomy tool:
