Rapid memory N-back! (n-back and memory span combination)

Here a study that claim that n-back task improve working memory in 30% and memory Span task improve 15%. What if we do a combination of the two tasks? http://releases.jhu.edu/2017/10/17/johns-hopkins-finds-training-exercise-that-boosts-brain-power/

The technique consists in using the major system http://www.memory-sports.com/blog/memory-techniques/the-major-system/ and the eidetic memory

1. convert the first 8 digits in 4 words. First you would have to be able to read 100 digits (50 words) in 40 seconds.
2. Then you use the eidetic memory to see the last 8 digits or less according your personal configuration. You need to expand the peripheral vision.

How to increase your eidetic memory: http://www.insanity-mind.com/increase-eidetic-memory/
How increase peripheral vision? http://www.insanity-mind.com/increase-peripheral-vision/

3)The 2 digit selected in binary are visualized example: (82: phone). If you have time you can do an association with the previous 2 digits. (example phone hit a fish)

Here my Web App to train peripheral vision: http://competicionmental.appspot.com/ (a Web App based on the official App used in this Memory Competition http://speed-memory.com/ and this alternative competition https://fastmemorychampionships.com/)

Example with 12 digits

convert to words eidetic

  23 44 55 23  45
         |                  13
         |
 00 11 00 00 00
                         00

44(rower) is selected to a common n-back task

Instructive video (I not follow the claims that n-back improve fluid intelligence)

You practice speed reading, Major System, Eidetic Memory, working memory, mental image visualization, n-back and spatial memory.

Changes

New game modes
New option to add your custom number position configs
Cleaning code

Thanks!
