The billion dollar brain training industry is a sham. It is nothing but a placebo, according to a scientific study.
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Brain
Stashed in: #health, Science!, Awesome, Gamification!, Gamers!, You can do it!, Mental Health, Apps, Science Studies, Cognitive Bias, Self Test
Don't believe the hype. It's a placebo.
Who wouldn't want to be smarter? After all, high intelligence can help you get better grades in school, more promotions at work, fatter pay checks through your career, and a cushier life overall. Those are pretty good outcomes by any measure.
For years, scientific studies suggested that smarts were mostly heritable and fixed through young adulthood—nothing one could willfully boost. But some recent studies hint that a segment of smarts, called fluid intelligence—where you use logic and patterns, rather than knowledge, to analyze and solve novel problems—can improve slightly with memory exercises. The alluring finding quickly gave life to a $1 billion brain training industry. This industry, including companies such as Lumosity, Cogmed, and NeuroNation, has since promised everything from higher IQs to the ability to stay sharp through aging. The industry even boasts that it can help users overcome mental impairments from health conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), traumatic brain injury, and the side effects of chemotherapy.
Those claims are clearly overblown and have been roundly criticized by scientists, the media, and federal regulators. Earlier this year, Lumosity agreed to pay $2 million to the Federal Trade Commission over claims of deceptive advertising. The FTC said Lumosity "preyed on consumers' fears about age-related cognitive decline." In the settlement, the FTC forbid the company from making any such claims that the training could sharpen consumers' minds in life-altering ways.
But what of the initial research that suggested slight positive effects of such brain training? While brain training companies have publicly taken heat for their hyped-up claims, recent scientific reviews of the literature have largely upheld the initial findings. In fact, a 2015 meta-analysis concluded that the training could increase IQ scores by three to four points.
With a new report published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, that research might be nearing a blistering rebuff of its own.
In a study designed to assess the experimental methods of earlier brain-training studies, researchers found that sampling bias and the placebo effect explained the positive results seen in the past. "Indeed, to our knowledge, the rigor of double-blind randomized clinical trials is nonexistent in this research area," the authors report. They even suggest that the overblown claims from brain training companies may have created a positive feedback loop, convincing people that brain training works and biasing follow-up research on the topic.
"The specter of a placebo may arise in any intervention when the desired outcome is known to the participant—an intervention like cognitive training," the authors note. Coupled with evidence that "people tend to hold strong implicit beliefs regarding whether or not intelligence is malleable" and that those beliefs may skew research findings, the authors conclude that past research is basically bunk.

Top Reddit comment:
The fact you can raise your IQ ten entire points by a placebo effect seems like it should be the bigger news here than the idea that brain training does it through placebo.

In part II the moments $\overline{\nu^n}$ and the low-frequency expansions of lattice frequency distributions were obtained by analyzing experimental heat capacities. We now derive from thermal expansion data the volume dependence of the moments and of the low-frequency coefficients, analyzing the Gruneisen function $\gamma$(T, V) = $\beta$V/$\chi_S$C$_P$. The volume dependence of the moments and of $\Theta^C_0$ is conveniently expressed by the function $\gamma(n)$ = -dln$\nu_D$(n)/dln V, where $\nu_D$(n) = ${\frac{1}{3}(n+3)\overline{\nu^n}}^1/n$. Individual values of $\gamma$(n) obtained by the analysis are useful in estimating the volume dependence of various crystal properties, notably C$_\nu$ and the Debye-Waller effect. The analysis is carried out for NaCl and KCl. The volume dependence of the low-frequency expansion can in principle be obtained from low-temperature data, but experimental accuracy in fact allows an estimate only of $\gamma_0 \equiv \gamma$(-3); the results are thus wholly expressed by $\gamma$(n) curves for each salt. These curves are determined to within a few parts per cent for -2 $\leqslant$ n $\leqslant$ 0, but the uncertainty increases to about 10% for $\gamma$(-3). For n > 0 the uncertainty increases so rapidly that the curves in this range must be considered as only provisional; this is partly because present thermodynamic data fix the volume dependence of $\gamma$(T, V) only between very wide limits. The values obtained for $\gamma$(-3) agree moderately well with values estimated from the pressure dependence of elastic constants; the comparison neither confirms nor rules out the possibility of at least a shallow minimum in the $\gamma$(T) curves at low temperatures. The general shape of the $\gamma$(n) curves is in rough agreement with the predictions of the Kellerman rigid ion model, with a maximum in $\gamma$(n) for n ~$\gtrsim$ 2. For the Kellerman model the fall in $\gamma$(n) as $n \rightarrow \infty$ is shown to be due to the longitudinal optical modes, which at the long-wave limit have individual $\gamma$ values lower than $\gamma$(2) or $\gamma$(4). The primary C$_P$ data for sodium chloride of Morrison & Patterson (1956) are tabulated in an appendix, because they were not given in the original paper.

One of Britain's bravest soldiers, who died in poverty and was buried in an unmarked grave, is to have his final resting place recognised.
Almost 150 years after Corporal Robert Grant was put in a common grave in Highgate Cemetery, Met commissioner Sir Ian Blair will unveil a stone to commemorate his life.
Cpl Grant, then 20, was awarded the Victoria Cross after risking his life to carry a wounded comrade off the battlefield while under fire during the Indian Rebellion, the start of India's long journey to independence, in 1857.
After ten years in the Army, which he had joined at 17, he returned to London and joined the Met's Y division, covering Kentish Town, and became Pc 306.
He was still serving when he died of consumption, aged 30, penniless and apparently without family.
He was Plinth model goes on show buried with nine others in the grave, known only by the number 15054.
Officers at Kentish Town have campaigned for two years to have his grave formally commemorated.
Pc Dave King said: "As a member of the old Y division, he was very much one of us and he policed Highgate, so it is fitting that we should commemorate him."
Grave digger Phil Seaton, who researched Cpl Grant's history, said: "The cemetery was obliged to take burials from those who died in parishes in north Londonand there are a number of common graves.
Scroll down for more...
'It is interesting, and quite sad, that a VC winner and serving police officer should end up in one."
He uncovered the medal citation for Cpl Grant, later promoted to Sergeant in the Fifth Regiment of Foot.
It said: "For conspicuous devotion at Alumbagh, on the 24th September 1857, in proceeding under a heavy and galling fire, to save the life of Private Deveney, whose leg had been shot away, and eventually carrying him safe into camp."
The date of the ceremony to rededicate the grave has not yet been set.
John Oakes, trustee of the Friends of Highgate Cemetery, said: "Anything which reinforces the cemetery's significance in the public imagination as a preserver of history is welcome."Reuse content

Alli Review (UPDATED): Don't Buy Before You Read This!
The FDA's only over-the-counter diet pill.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2017
What is it?
Alli is a weight loss pill intended to help people burn one pound of fat, for every 2 pounds lost through exercise. It's an over the counter medication made to help reduce about 25% of the fat one eats.
It's only available for people 18 and older, and for those who would be considered obese with a BMI of 25 or more. You also have to introduce a low-calorie, low-fat diet, and you have to make sure to take Alli alongside fats in your meals. The intended purpose of Alli is to remove some fat calories from your diet, by not having it digested, and instead being passed through one's stool. So is this really an effective weight loss pill? What kinds of weight loss effects are possible? Featured in this Alli review is all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Do You Know the Best Weight Loss Pills of 2017?
Alli Ingredients and Side Effects
FD&C Blue No. 2
Edible Ink
Iron Oxide
Microcrystalline Cellulose
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Sodium Starch Glycolate
Titanium Dioxide
Orlistat: The sole key active ingredient in Alli. It's used to help reduce the absorption of some fats, by having them removed by bowel movements.
You are advised to skip dosing these pills if you have a meal with no fats. It's also advised to get no more than 30% of your calories from fat to make good use of this ingredient. Both Drugs.com and the official website for Alli confirm:
"Orlistat can make it harder for your body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins"
"may recommend that you take vitamin and mineral supplements while you are taking this medication"
This can reduce the intake of vitamins A, D, E, and K. When using this pill, it's important to watch out for signs of vitamin and mineral deficiency. This can potentially lead to issues such as:
- Brittle nails and dull looking hear.
- Extreme fatigue.
- Vision problems.
- Mood swings and symptoms of depression.
- Reduced muscle mass and weakness in the limbs.
- Blindness.
- Increased risk for disease.
Orlistat itself has also been shown to potentially cause side effects that include:
- Blood in the urine.
- Severe lower back pain.
- Kidney problems including little to no urination.
- Liver issues that may cause nausea, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, fatigue, and yellowing of the skin and eyes.
- Oily and or fatty stools.
- Gas and oily discharge.
- Stomach pain, increased bathroom usage, and rectal pain.
- Inability to control your bowel movements.
- Several other side effects
There are also other side effects that if experienced, it's advised to seek immediate medical help. This can be a sign of serious health problems that can be potentially life threatening if not treated.
The official website does list some possible side effects, but a list on Drugs.com features all the possible issues people have experienced.
A clinical study of this ingredient showed very poor weight loss benefits. The Cochrane Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders Group ran a study showing the effects of the active ingredient when used for over a year:
"compared to placebo, Orlistat reduced weight by 2.9 kg"
2.9 kg is 6.39 pounds. So people lost around 1.87 pounds each month. This is significantly less weight loss than what other supplements can provide. You also have to make sure to consider all the possible side effects, as well as reduce your calories and increase exercise.
The company claims that you can lose around 5% of your total body fat if taken according to their demands, but this still isn't very much. The added diet and exercise is likely a major part of why there's weight loss.
FD&C Blue No. 2: Synthetic food coloring added to help provide a blue color. It has no nutritional value, and is only added to make these pills appear blue. Rats given this ingredient were subject to:
"statistically significant increases in brain cancer"
This is according to a study by the Center for Science in the Public Interest. They also advise that this ingredient should be banned, since it has no nutritional value. It's also believed that this ingredient may cause hyperactivity as well.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: A detergent and foaming agent that may cause skin and eye irritation.
Sodium Starch Glycolate: White powder added to help a pill dissolve and absorb better. It can be extracted from common allergens like wheat and corn. Those allergic or sensitive to these ingredients won't know which is added, since manufacturers aren't required to list what extracts are used.
EDITOR'S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven fat burner such as Sletrokor for better results.
Alli Quality of Ingredients
10 of the 11 ingredients are inactive, meaning they have no weight loss purpose.
The only truly beneficial ingredient is Orlistat, and its results on long term weight loss have been poor. You also have to make sure to take it alongside fats, so people who don't eat much dietary fats wouldn't see much improvement.
Clinical studies have shown that it may lead to serious side effects, of which there are many. Other studies have revealed that its weight loss effects are poor. Just over a pound of weight loss is possible each month, which isn't much. This also comes at the addition of added diet and exercise, as well as special intake considerations, as not all people are advised to take this weight loss pill.
You also have to watch out for fat soluble vitamin loss, which may require extra supplementation with multivitamins.
The Price and Quality of Alli
Alli is available for purchase in store and in online retail stores. One 40 day supply sells for $69.99 on Amazon.com. So you're essentially paying $1.74 per pill.
Most of what's inside this pill has no weight loss effect. It's mostly made up of food coloring, pill stabilizers, and additives to ease digestion.
The sole active ingredient has been shown to help reduce dietary fats, but its possibility for side effects and vitamin and mineral loss. Also, the weight loss benefits have been incredibly poor, and as you'll see in the "Customer Opinions of Alli" section, it's not well reviewed by users.
Business of Alli
Alli is owned by the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline; their US division can be reached below:
Phone Number: (800) 671-2554
Email: email@example.com
No returns are offered on Alli.
The makers have also been the subject of controversy over marketing and illegal actions. They also were subject to the biggest fine ever imposed on a drug company. The Department of Justice adds:
"Unlawful promotion of certain prescription drugs, its failure to report safety data, and its civil liability for alleged false price reporting"
"largest health care fraud settlement in US history"
They hid information about possible side effects, and they manipulated prices for several of their drugs.
In 2014, they also recalled Alli after fears of contamination. The FDA adds:
"the company believes some packages of the product were tampered with"
It's unknown how this could have happened, but they voluntarily recalled all batches of Alli in the US.
EDITOR'S TIP: For the best results, our experts recommend using weight loss pills for at least 3 months. Save your money by buying a few bottles at once.
Customer Opinions of Alli
Several customer reviews are available online. Here's what a few have experienced:
"hate so much that I paid for a product that did absolutely nothing"
"exercised as I did before, failed to lose any weight"
"It was disgusting and uncontrollable"
"Does not work at all"
Side effects were often listed, and they ranged from loose and oily stools, flatulence, increased bathroom usage, and sudden unexpected stools. A few people mentioned they couldn't be far away from a bathroom, as they would suddenly get the urge to have to go immedietly.
A lack of weight loss was also listed as a problem. Currently 571 reviews on Amazon.com confirm the lack of beneficial effects. Many struggled to see any weight loss even with proper diet and exercise.
There was often concern that the new batches of Alli just aren't as good, and that there's a lack of any noticeable change.
Conclusion - Does Alli Work?
When considering weight loss pills like Alli, it's important to look at clinical studies and customer opinions. Many users who tried Alli failed to see any change, and many severe side effects have also been listed. Though Alli can help reduce some fat intake, it only works to reduce fat, and it has no metabolism boosting or other calorie burning effects. So sugar and carbohydrates won't be reduced.
Also, the possibility for loss of fat soluble vitamins might require extra supplementation. A better solution is available that has only natural ingredients, no laxative like side effects, and great customer reviews. The very best option of 2016 is the all-natural Sletrokor.
It doesn't require a special diet, and you can rest assured this supplement won't have laxative like side effects. Customers have also raved about the beneficial and long lasting weight loss effects. You can find these testimonials on their official website, with people leaving nothing but positive weight loss results.
Sletrokor is even supported by an industry great 30 day money back guarantee. So you can take this supplement with the knowledge you're backed by a great risk free guarantee.

6-11-08 Heard about Alli and thought I'd give it a try.. today is my second day on it and so far so good..been eating a low fat diet and no bad treatment effects yet...just been urinating a little more than usual..will keep you all posted....
Photochick....I take a pill right before I eat. I only had side effects once. It was from eating movie theatre popcorn....omg it was crazy. The best way I can describe the oil side affect is to picture folding a piece of pizza in half, and that orange oil that drips off the pizza that is exactly what comes out of you. It is like pure fat.
im 12 and i want to know if i can tack this pill to mack me look sexy for my boyfreind yes or no
6-5-08 I'm 54, so weight loss at this age was impossible. I started taking alli last September - 10 lbs lost by Christmas and 12 more by this past April. Definitely side effects, but manageable. This product is amazing and I will continue to take.
6/1/08.. I started takin this pill 2 days ago. I had no side effects so I wanted to test it. I HATE, i repeat HHHAAATTTEEE McDonalds but I know it's the next best thing to heart failure so I ate there just to test the GI Tract. Let me tell ya, not pleasant. Well, to someone who is used to going every 3 days it's a dangg blessing.. but to someone who goes once a day, grab the preperation H if you plan to eat a fatty meal. IM assuming the last two days i had no effects because i didnt eat fatty foods. If this pill doesnt make you lose weight it will definitely make you think twice about the food you consume thats for sure. And if you think changing a baby diaper is bad? You got another thing coming when you eat a fatty meal on Alli. It made ME cry and open windows. I was so disgusted. I went out and bought an entire house wirth of new food because of m bowel movement. THREE for one big mac. THREE.
I'm taking alli now. It's true the fat comes out when you go to the restroom but at least it doesn't stay in me. i lost 12lbs on my own and want alli to help me lose another 10. you take it before meals. it really works my friend lost 50lbs. of course your not going to lose them from one day to the next but stay positive even if its 1lb a month and try to cut the grease. you can eat pizza just beware you will pay for it. BUT SO WORTH IT!!! good luck!
I started taking this product-but the instructions state 'take with a meal' so is that before i eat or after i eat? I've been taking it before and haven't noticed any side effects. But i'm also a vegetarian and my fat intake is pretty low anyways. It makes me think i'm taking it at the wrong time? Someone let me know please!
just starting this product will keep you posted....
I started taking alli about 6 weeks ago. I have lost about 18 pounds. I have never ever had ANY kind of side effect. No gas, no weird poop, no extra trips to the bathroom of any kind. I started my lowfat diet a few days before starting the pills and I stay well below the fat grams that are recommended. There have been a few meals that I've wanted to splurge, so I've just not taken the pill. Still, no side effects. I don't know if it was just my mindset or if it was the pills, but something has clicked and I've finally dropped the pounds I've struggled with the past few years. Though, I've not had any effects, the fear of having them has definitely kept me on the straight and narrow. I'm glad I tried them, although, they probably aren't for everyone, I've felt no ill effects.
Just a note regarding the negative effects of Alli that some people noted (I haven't taken it but speaking from a medical background) - (1) Alli can't be addictive...not to say other drugs aren't but this one doesn't appear to have any effects on any centers that result in addiction or dependence...it works on an enzyme that acts in our intestines to absorb fats ... (2) someone noted experiencing problems 2 years after terminating the program - that actually may be an effect that the clinical trials haven't picked up on... not likely to happen in everyone - just a VERY small percentage - but it's more likely if you take them for an extended period of time
I started alli Thursday May 15th at 161, and now Sun. May 18 I am 158.. thats a pound a day I have lost... I am also on the special K diet as well. Only had the side affect once the first day I started as I pigged out on pizza and took the pill... if you are on a lowfat diet theres not any side affects!!! Works for me great so far... we'll see. :)
I was on Alli, if you eat right then you won't have the side effects. I didn't lose any weight but my co-worker lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks. His wife lost 10 in 6 weeks but was also running everyday. I switched to Curvelle and I actually think it works. I am sensitive to side effects and so far I haven't had any on curvelle. As for Alli....you eat wrong...you end up in the bathroom, you eat right...you are fine.
I just ordered it I hope it works for me I'll report back in about a month.
i just start today...will post something in a week
most disgusting side effects and you can't control it -I threw a months supply out --I would rather have a few extra pounds than wear depends because you're not sure what may or may not come out -- FLIPPIN GROSS!!!
started using it, didn't lose but 2 lbs in an entire month but managed to crap orange uncontrollably, without eating high fat foods.... even when i passed gas it was embarassing at work, and even stained my pants. do not recommend to any one who is a human being.
I have been taking Alli since November 07. As of today 4/29/08, I have lost 35 lbs. You have to be dedicated to this diet to make it work(duh, like all other diets). Getting in the correct calories and fat intake are key, and all the little books that come with the starter kit explain why. I think this drug is wonderful, and also a great discipline tool, i have really learned how to eat healthier, and when I crave junk food, It has helped me stay conscious of portion control. Everyone is different, some people may not have a tolerance for the drug itself.FYI, triglycerides go through the roof from smoking as well as constant stopping and starting of diet and exercise also. If you are thinking about using Alli to assist your diet and exercise (i get in about 2 hours a week, not much, but its something) program, take the time to read the literature, it makes things alot easier, o yeah, and you might want to keep an extra pair of panties around, just in case. Ive never had TE's, but, hey, s**t happens.
Anyone heard of Alli increasing triglyerides? Never had a problem until I started taking Alli, now they are through the roof!
I took alli for 2 weeks..The results were great. I am now down to my desired weight and I'm off alli for now. Got the result and happy for it. Treatment effects weren't fun but hey focus on the result!!!! I wouls recomend it...
I have been taking Alli for 2 weeks now and I have lost 3lbs. I am excited about it. The bathroom trips are real. I do not have a diet plan just watching what I eat. I can tell when I have had to much fat. So It does help you to make good food choices. I am goin to stay with Alli for at these 3 months to see if it works for me. So far so good...Good Luck to everyone.
Warning: Alli Linked To Liver Damage
The anticipation for a new diet pill is over as the FDA recently approved Alli (pronounced Al-eye). It's the weight loss newcomer that is quickly finding its place on drug store shelves. Alli is the first FDA-approved diet pill available without a prescription. Alli is actually a low-dose version of Xenical, a prescription drug that successfully assists obese individuals losing weight. Xenical is taken under a doctor's care while following a low-calorie, low-fat diet. Alli has the same active ingredient (Orlistat), but in a much lower dosage, and is available without the prescription.
Alli can help you lose a few pounds more than just dieting and exercise alone. It works by suppressing the body's ability to absorb fat in the intestines. By reducing fat, you reduce calories. When the body is unable to absorb these fats they become undigested waste.
Alli works best when it is used in conjunction with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and a regular exercise program. But since sticking to a reduced-calorie diet is tough and since certain foods need to be avoided while using the diet pill, Alli has partnered with eDiets, a meal delivery service that delivers Alli-specific meals to your door every week.
While some may view Alli as a controversial solution to weight loss, the manufacturers of this product have gone to great lengths to offer a comprehensive program to its users in order to make weight loss as easy and approachable as possible.
Although studies on the amount of weight loss you can lose with Alli are limited, you can expect to lose three to five pounds more than just relying on diet and exercise alone.
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
- May help to jump start a weight loss program
- Comprehensive website that offers support, food journals, calorie counters, meal plans and shopping lists
- Partnership with eDiets makes eating and meal planning simple and convenient
- The only over-the-counter diet pill with FDA approval
- Low-dose version of effective prescription diet pill
- Some think it shouldn't be sold without a prescription
- Not a long-term solution to weight loss
- Uncomfortable side effects
- Must be very careful to not exceed the maximum fat gram requirement with each meal
- Weight loss affects are modest
- Meal delivery services don't teach you how to consume and prepare your own calorie and portion-controlled meals
Alli contains 60 mg of Orlistat.ADMINISTRATION
Alli is a 60 mg tablet taken three times a day with meals that should not exceed 15 mg of fat.DIET and EXERCISE
A low-fat and low-calorie diet must be followed while taking Alli. Since the success of Alli depends so largely on what you eat, how much you eat and when you eat, you have two choices for designing the most effective meal plan for your weight loss needs:
- You could consult with your physician or a registered dietitian to design a well-laid out diet and exercise plan.
- You could sign up for Alli's partner eDiets, a meal delivery service that creates special Alli-approved meals and delivers them to your door each week.
With the eDiets plan, you eat three meals a day plus snack and desserts. Menus can be personalized to reflect your tastes and preferences and you also have access to a registered dietitian, an online community of other Alli dieters and fitness and exercise support.
Since the fat content of each meal must be closely monitored while using Alli (no more than 15 mg each day), eDiets special Alli-approved meals meet these requirements so that your risk of side effects is kept to a minimum.
The eDiets menu includes a wide variety of delicious meals, including:
- Maple Apple Oatmeal
- Denver Style Potato Skillet with Turkey Ham
- Rosemary Pork with Brown Rice
- Oven Roasted Turkey with Savory Sweet Potatoes and Mixed Garden Vegetables
- Blackened Chicken served with Seasoned Spicy Brown Rice
- Peach Cobbler
- Sugar-free Pudding
Irrespective of which meal plan you follow, since Alli inhibits the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, it is important to take a daily supplement that includes Vitamins A, D and E.
In addition, for the best results, a regular exercise program should also be followed that includes 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week. If you decide to sign-up with eDiets meal delivery service, you have access to a live fitness trainer to help you customize an exercise plan to compliment your weight loss needs.CONCLUSION
Many people have seen positive results with Alli. However, those considering taking Alli should note that side effects can include gas, and uncontrolled urination and bowel movements, especially when not following the guidelines prescribed by Alli.
Alli is not a magic pill to lose weight, but its special partnership with eDiets, a meal delivery service, makes eating and meal planning simple and convenient.
Do keep in mind that the effects of taking Alli in comparison to just dieting and exercising alone are just the difference of a few pounds. It is necessary that you consult with your medical practitioner before taking Alli.Common Misspellings
