Recently, the Israelis bombed the Gaza strip (again). Apart from the fact that they possibly killed scores of innocent people, they have the gall to showcase it to the world on YouTube. The Israel Defense Forces’ professional body has made a YouTube channel with videos of the Gaza bombing.

YouTube had taken the videos offline, but now they are back online. Mass murderers doing PR. This is just way too sick.

Well Lord, if you’re gonna buy me one, please make it this one

Recently I had blogged about Cognitive Fun’s web based n-back task. They’ve just added another test for a dual n-back task. A dual n-back task is one where there are two inputs to be monitored instead of just one. Eg. there would be an auditory input as well as a visual input. Check it out.

Recently I read a Wired.com article regarding n-back tasks, which claim to improve fluid intelligence in adults. Not finding any resources at the time to practice such tasks, I set up a Google alert to get notified of the happenings in the n-back task world. Today it delivered good news in my inbox.

Cognitive fun! has released an online test that allows the test taker to practice these n-back tasks. One can go up to 7!! back in the task. I guess that should make one really really smart. First I have to get smart enough to set aside time to take these tests.
