This morning I had an interesting interview with Martin G. Walker, the creator of Mind Sparke Brain Fitness Pro [2]. Aside from being an incredibly nice guy, I found him to be extremely down to earth.
A few days back, I sent him a list of questions I had in mind and he agreed to all of them. I know I’ve mentioned before that Martin is accessible and customer focused, and I just have to say it again here. He put no restrictions on this interview. Gave me no time limit. He was open to whatever I threw him.
I certainly appreciated that, and I hope you enjoy the interview.
Some of the highlights from the interview include:
- How the idea for Brain Fitness Pro came up
- Martin explains some of the findings of the Jaeggi study which the program is based on
- What age groups do best with the training
- Whether the program is right for students getting ready for the SAT
- The differences between Brain Fitness Pro and programs like Lumosity
- What kind of improvement to expect after 19 days
- The surprising improvement that users are experiencing other than intelligence point gains
- What’s in the next version (and do we have to pay for the upgrade?)
- When the MAC version is expected

For those of you following my 19 day trial [4], I completed Day 15 today. I’ll make a new post on Day 20 with my final n-back score, thoughts about the process and a final review.
As per Martin’s suggestion I will give myself a week off to consolidate the gains, and then I will post my post test results and final review.
UPDATE:
My 19 day trial is now finished! You can view my complete results by clicking here [5].
