The method
What does a brain game result tell you?
A saved game result is an observation of performance on a particular task, under the conditions in which you played it. LabRats keeps those observations so you can look across days.
1. Keep the task in view
A reaction-time task records how quickly you respond. A memory task records what you remember. Results from different rules, levels or formats should not be treated as interchangeable. LabRats separates compatible results when drawing comparable trends.
2. Build a record, not a verdict
One run can be affected by distraction, the device, a missed instruction or chance. Repeated play gives you a longer record. Familiarity also matters: getting better at a game does not establish an improvement in general intelligence.
3. Keep your context
Optional check-ins record context such as sleep, caffeine, energy and mood. Your Journal can hold measurements, tags and notes. These records can help you notice patterns, but an association does not establish a cause.
4. Plan a personal experiment
A personal experiment lets you write down a question, plan a schedule and collect selected game results. The comparison is descriptive. An apparent difference may still be explained by learning, timing, other changes or chance.
5. Know the limits
LabRats is not a medical device, diagnostic test or treatment. It does not recommend substances or doses, determine whether a supplement works, or establish fitness for employment or safety-critical tasks. Its results describe game performance.
Choose the record for your question
For what you take, use the supplement journal, nootropic tracker guide or peptide journal guide. For what you measure, start with reaction time, memory tasks or attention tasks. The personal experiment guide connects those records to a planned comparison.
