The ability to perform during high-levels of cognitive stress is a major determinant of elite ability, yet is rarely conditioned outside of competition.
Largely this happens because the combined mental resources demanded for neuromuscular coordination and perception-response processing become bottlenecked.
The drop in performance after adding a motor task is significantly smaller when there is an already strong perceptual cognitive base ability.
#NEUROTRACKER ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE PROFESSIONAL#
This slide demonstrates similar performance growth curves of professional athletes in multiple sports, with gradual improvement once a level of consolidation ( and baseline reference of cognitive status) has been achieved.By applying the basic training principles of ISOLATION, OVERLOAD AND REPETITION, NeuroTracker training improves a person’s Perceptual- cognitive ability to track multiple objects, deal with rapid optic flow and process biological motion, all skills required of an elite athlete. In sports, the dynamic environment created during gameplay includes: optic flow ( rapid visual stimulation during play action) multiple object tracking (for example, following teammates or opposing players), and biological motion: our working memory allows us to learn and anticipate human body movement or cues revealing predictable movement patterns. An everyday example is a family quickly moving through a busy mall without hitting other people, all while keeping track of each other. How does perceptual cognitive training work? MOT is an evolutionary built-in cognitive ability that allows us to perceive, react to and navigate dynamic environments, all while distributing attentional ressources to several moving targets at the same time.CogniSens continues to develop patentable sport-specific cognitive training applications, validated through collaborations with professional teams in each major sport. NeuroTuner is a multisensory stochastic resonance stimulation system to enhance training and accelerate rehabilitation from injury. NeuroTracker Perceptual-Cognitive Training and Concussion Support System is also a unique perceptual - cognitive training device to improve athletic performance, increase situational awareness & reduce the Athlete’s risk of injury. In particular, the NeuroMinder concussion monitoring device, expected to become the diagnostic standard for concussion detection and management, has been validated with Manchester United FC. Neurotracker has a suite of neurological products under development to address specific needs in sports. The underlying science for Neurotracker technologies emanates from the Visual Psychophysics and Perception Laboratory of the University of Montreal directed by Prof Jocelyn Faubert, a world leading NeuroPhysicist.
