🧠 Why This Project?

This repository contains the source code for FreeFocusGames.com, a collection of cognitive exercises designed to improve:

• Working Memory
• Attention Span
• Processing Speed
• Cognitive Flexibility

Unlike many proprietary brain training apps, this project provides transparent, scientific implementations of classic cognitive psychology paradigms.

🎮 Included Games & Algorithms

This repository features production-ready implementations of the following cognitive tasks:

1. Dual N-Back

The gold standard for working memory training. Based on the research by Susanne Jaeggi, this task requires users to simultaneously track visual and auditory stimuli sequences.

• Keywords: Fluid Intelligence, Working Memory, Jaime Jaeggi, N-Back Algorithm

2. Schulte Table

A grid of randomly distributed numbers used for speed reading development and peripheral vision training.

• Keywords: Speed Reading, Attention Control, Peripheral Vision, Focus Grid

3. Stroop Effect Test

A neuropsychological test demonstrating the reaction time delay between congruent and incongruent stimuli. Measures cognitive flexibility and executive function.

• Keywords: Selective Attention, Cognitive Flexibility, Executive Function, Inhibition Control

4. Reaction Time Test

A millisecond-precision test to measure your reaction speed. Click as fast as you can when the screen changes color. Widely used in sports science and cognitive research.

• Keywords: Reaction Time, Reflex Test, Speed Test, Response Time, Human Benchmark

5. Other Cognitive Tasks

• Pomodoro Timer: Focus timer based on the Pomodoro Technique.
• Block Memory Challenge: Spatial working memory exercise.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Framework: Next.js 15 (App Directory)
• Language: TypeScript
