Performing NeuroTracker with motor-skills reveals previously undetected ACL risks across different types of collegiate athletes.
This study investigated the effects of a simulated game-situation cognitive load (NeuroTracker) on lower limb biomechanics, using a landing task relevant to straining of the Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). ACL injuries are known to be one of the most sports common injuries, and occurrence has been linked to cognitive factors.
NeuroTracker pre-training of professional rugby players dramatically reduces the impact physiological fatigue on cognitive functions compared to controls.
To assess the inhibitory effects of physiological fatigue on cognitive function in elite athletes, and to determine if perceptual-cognitive conditioning can reduce any such effects.
A single 6-min NeuroTracker baseline is highly correlated with simulated driving crash risk and lane deviation in healthy older people.
To test the theory that driving performance is strongly associated with dynamic processing of multiple objects, by evaluating if NeuroTracker measures correlate with older driving performance in simulated scenarios.
To evaluate the potential for sports vision training to improve objective and subjective visuomotor function in a low vision patient.
NeuroTracker performance and aerobic capacity are associated with reductions in cognitive decline induced by physical fatigue.
To investigate how multiple object tracking abilities (NeuroTracker) may enhance strategies for maintaining spatial awareness and optimal player performance in soccer. Additionally, to examine the relationship between aerobic capacity and multiple object tracking capacity.
NeuroTracker performance is linked fluid reasoning intelligence, particularly so in conditions of high load tracking.
The objective of the study was to examine MOT capability at different levels of cognitive load (tracking 1,2,3, or 4 objects) and its association to higher level processes, particularly fluid reasoning intelligence.
Digital sports vision training has evolved from analog eye drills to immersive perceptual–cognitive and virtual reality systems, but empirical support varies widely across approaches.
To critically review emerging digital sports vision training (SVT) technologies, classify them into coherent categories, and evaluate the strength of empirical evidence supporting performance enhancement claims.
A 5-week at-home NeuroTracker training program with athletes from 10 different sports improves self-assessment ratings of sports performance
To investigate if an unsupervised remote NeuroTracker training intervention could subjectively improve performance outcomes with elite athletes across a range of different sports.
Individual with Autism can perform NeuroTracker at different cognitive loads and benefit from feedback at low difficulty levels.
To investigate the cognitive characteristics of individuals with with Autism compared to neurotypical individuals in response to different NeuroTracker loads and feedback.
Scientific analysis of NeuroTracker driving research deems it to be relevant measure of driving safety in the context of renewing a license.
To combine several tests known to assess driving fitness and propose a methodology to bring these together under a single index termed the ‘Driver’s Safety Index’.
NeuroTracker baselines pre-post intense exercise indicate greater cognitive benefits of a prescription hydration plan for collegiate athletes.
To to determine whether a hydration plan based off of an athlete’s sweat rate and sodium loss, improves anaerobic and neurocognitive performance during a moderate to hard training session, as well as heart rate recovery from the session.
NeuroTracker baselines effectively differentiate athletes across gender, type of sport and training frequency.
To investigate if NeuroTracker baselines can be used to differentiate athletic experience and class of sport.
A 3-hour NeuroTracker training intervention transfers to significant improvements across 3 types working memory assessments in military personnel.
Working Memory (WM) capacity has been linked to performance on a wide range of elementary and higher order cognitive tasks. Due to evidence suggesting that NeuroTracker speed thresholds are an indicator of the quality of high-level brain function, and because it is an adaptive task, the researchers selected NeuroTracker to investigate whether training could improve WM capacities. A further reason was to test a training approach with short intervention times for practical military implementations for the Canadian Armed Forces.
NeuroTracker measures of spare cognitive capacity reveal for the first time the different mental demands of live versus simulated jet piloting.
The goal of this multi-year research project was to develop methods for assessing the efficacy of training (including live and simulated platforms) by validating measures of cognitive workload that characterize skill acquisition.
NeuroTracker training yields superior learning rates when combined with crowd noise stimulation in collegiate football players.
To investigate how attentionally based performance and learning is affected when audio stimuli is present in athletic populations.
NeuroTracker training over 5 weeks improves the visual perception skills of motorcyclists.
To enhance the visual perception ability of motorcycle taxi riders by using a NeuroTracker training intervention.
To investigate whether performing simultaneous motor and cognitive tasks of varied complexity impact perceptual-cognitive domains in healthy children and youth, with the goal of established dual-task normative concussion baselines more relevant than single-task baselines for daily living activities.
To examine the short and long term effects of Donepezil (DPZ) pharmacological enhancement (trade mark ‘Aricept’) on cognitive functions and learning related neuroplasticity.
