The NT group demonstrated significantly higher scores on the IVA+Plus Auditory, WAIS Symbol Search, WAIS Code, WAIS Block Design, WAIS Letter-Number Sequence, d2 Test of Attention, and DKEFS Color Naming, Inhibition and Inhibition/Switching subtests (P <. The trained group showed strong and consistent improvements in NeuroTracker speed thresholds throughout the training period. Cognitive functions were assessed using standardized neuropsychological tests (IVA+Plus, WAIS-III, D-KEFS), and correlates of brain functions were assessed using quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG). Additionally to measure changes in brain state using functional brain imaging.Ģ0 university-aged students were recruited and divided into an NT training group (30 sessions of NeuroTracker) and a non-active control group. To examine the effects of NeuroTracker training on standardised measures of attention, working memory, and visual information processing speed using standardized neuropsychological tests. ‘Enhancing Cognitive Function Using Perceptual-Cognitive Training’Ĭlinical EEG and Neuroscience 1–11, 2016, DOI: 10.1177/1550059414563746 NeuroTracker Study on Enhancing Cognitive Function Gains in abilities to read and interpret human body motion have been shown, and far transfer has been observed in outcomes of sports competitions. These are known to be essential to mental performance, and also to be critically impaired across a wide range of cognitive related conditions. Near transfer has been demonstrated with NeuroTracker training, revealing significant improvements with different populations in many high-level cognitive faculties, such as executive function and working memory. Ultimately, it’s measureable improvement in real world abilities that are sought after, known to be difficult to attain with contemporary interventions. Mapping of neuroelectric brain function suggests neuroplasticity levels may be increased with NeuroTracking. Superior NeuroTracker learning rates have been found to be a defining characteristic of elite athletes, yet have also been found to be still strong in cognitive conditions such as aging and learning disorders where learning capacities are expected to be diminished. However, performing NeuroTracker at speed thresholds evokes powerful responses in brain activity, becoming both a stimulant of neuroplasticity, and a valuable reference of it.
NeuroTracker is a simple training exercise to do, with virtually no technique or practice required within the task itself. High-level mental processing is required to perform NeuroTracker at increasing speed thresholds, as such, measures have been found to differentiate elite performers from amateur, reveal characteristics of brain development with age, identify impairment with healthy aging or learning related disorders, and possibly to help toĭetect functional-related brain damage, such as with concussions, and reveal non-contact sports injury risks. NeuroTracker provides objective cognitive metrics on brain functions fundamental to human performance, and also relevant in cognitive conditions. To date, published studies have discovered important neuroscience findings in in the following areas. The not-for-profit CogniSens Applied Research Centre (ARC) supports an increasing number of NeuroTracker research projects across a variety of scientific disciplines.
Designed to uniquely measure and enhance high-level cognitive function, it has become established as a valuable research tool for understanding human performance.
