About
Go Hacker is a brain training app designed to help you constantly improve your Go intelligence.
Go Hacker implements effective dual-n-back training technique - scientifically proven method of powering the 'fluid intelligence'.
When you have mastered GO Hacker working out complicated, multi-move combinations will become effortless!
Go Hacker training method based on the 'dual n-back' exercise. A study* showed that such exercises could improve fluid intelligence ('the ability to reason and to solve new problems independently of previously acquired knowledge') by training with a 'demanding working memory task'. Whereas the stimuli in the study were auditory and visual, the stimuli for GO Hacker are both visual (squares and stones) and GO-focused.
Reported benefits of dual-n-back training include:
• Increased IQ
• Increased fluid intelligence
• Increased short-term memory performance
• Decreased distractibility
• Reduced ADHD symptoms
• Increased self-control and emotional stability
For GO, when GO Hacker skills have been mastered, this means that a player should be able to see many moves deep (keeping the position of stones in their working memory), stay focused and not let distractions (including emotional ones) sidetrack them during games.
