Perceptual - Cognitive Training to improve athletic performance by increasing player situational awareness and decreasing response time during game play.

Concussion Management and Post Injury Return To Play timing assessment

Cutting-edge Neurophysics and VR technology applied with the science of sport in focus.

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.Neurotracker has a suite of neurological products under development to address specific needs in sports.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 Perceptual-Cognitive Training and Concussion Support System is also a unique perceptual - cognitive training device to improve athletic performance, increase situational awareness & reduce the Athletes risk of injury. NeuroTuner is a multisensory stochastic resonance stimulation system to enhance training and accelerate rehabilitation from injury. CogniSens continues to develop patentable sport-specific cognitive training applications, validated through collaborations with professional teams in each major sport.

Isolate Overload - Repeat

Multiple Object Tracking - MOT

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. An everyday example is a family quickly moving through a busy mall without hitting other people, all while keeping track of each other.

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.

By applying the basic training principles of ISOLATION, OVERLOAD AND REPETITION, NeuroTracker training improves a persons Perceptual- cognitive ability to track multiple objects, deal with rapid optic flow and process biological motion, all skills required of an elite athlete.4

Divided attentionTraining Effect

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. Thereafter the standard deviation of the last three sessions represent a baseline reference to be used in the event of concussion or other injury requiring a return to play timing assessment.

The lower growth curve illustrates that athletes dividing their attentional resources by adding a motoric task during the initial perceptual cognitive training achieved significantly smaller baselines than those allocating their entire attention to perceptual cognitive training and having reached the level of consolidation.

Olympic AthletesNeurotracker speed thresholds as a function of additional motoric load

This slide shows the integration of perceptual cognitive abilities by Olympic athletes gradually adding increasingly complex motor tasks to perceptual cognitive training. The drop in performance after adding a motor task is significantly smaller when there is an already strong perceptual cognitive base ability. This progressive learning process clearly demonstrates transferability and development of perceptual cognitive skills that can be directly applied to any sport by adding a sport specific skill training once the Athlete has achieved a basic perceptual cognitive ability.6

Perceptual-Cognitive Motoric Training

Physical performance skills can dilapidate greatly under pressure. Largely this happens because the combined mental resources demanded for neuromuscular coordination and perception-response processing become bottlenecked. The ability to perform during high-levels of cognitive stress is a major determinant of elite ability, yet is rarely conditioned outside of competition. NeuroTracker offers an ideal and measurable way to activate critical perceptual-cognitive resources at threshold levels and add then motor-loads in order to expand performance abilities when under pressure. After consolidating NeuroTracker ability, an athletes threshold speed is trained while performing a low-level isolated sports drill. The added motor-load significantly increases the difficulty of maintaining tracking until the combined training becomes quickly consolidated. Increasingly difficult or varied coordination tasks, along with their associated perceptual demands, are used to maintain progressive training. The performance impact of the integrated training demands is measure primarily through NeuroTrackers scientific data, but can also be assessed through a coachs observation of motor-task skill. VAP4U is currently utilizing unique movement-tracking technology for objective biomechanical measurements.7
