Gwern from here on LW maintains an excellent FAQ about n-back. My personal experiences thus far (though I haven't done much of it) are actually listed in the FAQ. :D The FAQ is here.
I use Brain Workshop on Jaeggi mode (a harder more test-like mode which you can switch on in the config file).
Isn't Jaeggi mode the one that ends with a series of the same letter in the center every session to make sure there's an equal number of matches in each session?
Most of the arguments I could imagine for that being superior are pretty tortured. You should ask Justin for the config file we used. I'm pretty sure we turned Jaeggi on at first but then turned it back off due to that artifact. I certainly found it more stimulating/difficult after Jaeggi was turned back off.
Hm, there don't seem to be an equal number of matches in each session. Sometimes there are 4, sometimes there are 10. Do I misunderstand? Or perhaps I have a different version of brain workshop?
