I downloaded HighIQPro, installed it, and launched the application. I began the first N-back exercise (of course, without reading any instructions!) and was immediately confused by a screen that a blinking red square sporadically appeared on. Not sure what to do I exited this game and went back to the main screen where I clicked the help icon.
This took me to a page on the HighIQPro website that instructed me to first take an IQ test and a Jouve-Cerebrals Test of Induction (JCTI) fluid intelligence test. I took a free 40-minute IQ test and scored 100. So as of May 1, 2012, I have a perfectly average IQ score for an American, I guess that makes me an ideal test subject for this case study. After the IQ test, I was a little frazzled, so I slept for a night before taking the JCTI test. I found the JCTI a little more challenging but ended up scoring 102, so I'm pretty damn average!

While I love "normal books," audiobooks are a tool in the Lifehacker's war chest for high-leverage learning and do offer some special benefits.
Notably, audiobooks help improve listening comprehension. By listening to audiobooks, one can improve their comprehension by hearing the language. Audio learning helps stimulate the imagination, increase reading fluency, and provide a model of proper pronunciation, sentence structure, and proper grammar. By hearing the language, the listeners build their vocabularies. Listening to books provides the listeners with an audio model and reference to pronounce words properly, create proper sentence structure, and improve grammar. Audiobooks improve comprehension through audio cues like tone, pauses, and pacing.

Like many young men, I once lost my driver’s license due to some small bad decisions and had to get rid of my car. Here’s how I kept my dating life active and fun...
Aniracetam modulates the Ampakine receptor in the brain, and interestingly, Darpa has investigated Ampakinic drugs. This is the shadowy military research organization about which there are all kinds of crazy (and not so crazy) conspiracy theories. So, if the US government wants to hire me to broker an interstellar peace arrangement with aliens or travel back in time to save JFK, you can find my resume on LinkedIn.
The packet it comes in is pretty small, but the dosage needed for effect is a lot lower than that of Piracetam. A dosage of 1500-2000 milligrams puts me into a very focused state for 3-6 hours.

Yes, bad mental health days happen even for Biohackers, I had one last week. And I'll tell you how I turned it around in about 45 minutes.
I had been stressed about more than a few things. To name a few...
Then my wife made a perfectly understandable, concerned comment while rushing out the door to attend to matters in Sofia, which set me off.
