Can I use this for my/the DNB FAQ?
Yeah, is this published yet? Whatever you are working on, or something similar, could be a top-level post here.
I don't think my FAQ is appropriate for the top-level, as DNB is to me still in the twilight zone of effectiveness - unlike, say, melatonin.
Part of the problem is that the academic research (specifically Jaeggi 2008 and Jaeggi 2010) is flawed (see the Moody section of the FAQ), and the time consumption is massive: I'm willing to stump for melatonin because the time consumption is 1 or 2 seconds a day and the effects are clear; I'm not willing to stump for something with unclear (if possibly much more valuable) effects and consuming on the order of 20 minutes a day.
Where is this FAQ? Is it something here that I have missed?
It's a FAQ I've been compiling/writing for the Dual N-Back mailing list; you can find the latest link here: http://gwern.net/DNB%20FAQ
(That's just the static HTML version, though, which I sometimes update; the real latest Markdown is in my Darcs repo: https://patch-tag.com/r/gwern/Gwern/home .)
You may do, but you might end up including me twice, as I have posted similar thoughts elsewhere, under a different name (cev).
Oh; I do have you already then, under
But no reason I couldn't quote you twice as the quotes differ?
Yeah, sure - I couldn't remember what I may have said earlier.
