performance neurology
Brain Endurance Training (BET) is a new form of training that aims to improve the brains capacity to withstand mental fatigue and increase endurance.
Neuro Performance Training (NPT) furthermore aims to improve the brains overall navigational systems to make you move faster, better and with more precision and power.
NPT also deals with the neurophysiological aspect of neuro cognitive ability to make you better fast decision making, improved consistency, accuracy and reaction time.
The drills employed with athletes have been tested and used extensively elsewhere;
… by organizations such as NASA and the US NAVY to test personel vigilancy.
… by sports scientist to induce fatigue in high level athletes of various disciplines.
… by sports scientist to study performance adaptations after BET in athletes.
… in the realm of functional neurology to rehabilitate recurring injury and pain.
… in vestibular and visual rehabilitation to improve patients suffering from traumatic brain injury and concussions.
3 examples of brain training drills
We use a wide range of drills to target different systems and areas of the brain.
To give you and idea of what a drill might look like, here are three different ones.
Inverted stroop tests and trains your ability to make rule based decision (cognitive choice) - used extensively in brain fatigue research.
Fusion tests and trains your sportsvision and the ability to keep your eyes steady, tracking and working together to create god depth perception - used extensively in vision and vestibular research and training.
Anticipation tests and trains your ability to anticipate when the blue moving squares arrive at the white square - a skill that has shown to carry over into sports specific performance in various sports such as football, basketball, baseball etc. - used in sports specific brain fatigue research.
Inverted Stroop
Pick the color described not the color of the word
Fusion
Make the to circles overlap in the midde, creating a 3D looking circle
Anticipation
Anticipate when the blue squares will hit the white
