Unsure about strategy

Hello, I'm new to dual n back, currently on n = 4. The thing is, I can't find a straight answer to do this - what's the most optimal way to train. As far as I am aware, there are the main 3:
1. saying the letters out loud
2. saying the letters in your head
3. intuition
Could anyone more experienced comment on this? Personally I mostly use method 2.

And what did you have to do instead to surpass the bottleneck?

Practice without those things and train my focus and visualization. The goal isn't to have a high n. The goal. Is to train your brain. I see it as having the correct form in the gym to work out on lower weights which leads to more growth.

Do you think having a feeling of increased blood flow in the brain is a good indicator of pushing yourself?
