Patients make gains from NeuroTracking by building back neural networks and skillsets that were deficient. Most importantly we see the beneficial effects.
One of the key benefits of NeuroTracker is we’re not just asking the athlete or patient how they feel, we’re truly looking at neurological change correlated by numerical change in data, so we can quantify the intervention and correlate with subjective assessments. I recently presented at a conference on this role because I think it’s important practitioners realize this can become an exceptional part of their practice. We have a range of interventions we use specialized for dealing with each of these effects, but NeuroTracker has become an important tool for us in many of our post-concussion recovery sessions. Symptoms can involve optic distortions, ocular-muscular problems, multiple object tracking deficiencies, as well as sensory integration and overload issues. These affect almost all aspects of life so we need to monitor therapy effects all the way to the end point of recovery. We treat a very wide range of patients suffering from concussions, and with severe cases we see patients who have significant symptoms 6-8 months after injury. What’s less well-known is the application of NeuroTracker for therapy. It’s the biggest testimonial for a training tool when your clients say ‘Look, I can’t live without this,’ which is great confirmation for us. Once these athletes see the difference NeuroTracker is making on the field, they become completely devoted – they want it on the road with them, they want it in their training facility, and we work with those teams to make sure it’s onsite for them. I’ve spent 3 years using NeuroTracker for performance, vision enhancement, and concussion rehabilitation. It’s a wonderful technology which quickly became a ‘must-have’ tool as part of our practice. The sports performance role for NeuroTracker was already well-known, and applying it for training NBA, NFL, MLS, and MLB athletes we made great strides. As a vision specialist, part of my role is spearheading the use of emerging technologies for performance and therapy. Over the last 15 years I’ve built up a core battery of technologies for vision related training, testing and health, along with neurocognitive enhancement. Learning and implementing new technologies is huge if you want to stay ahead of the game.

We look forward to working with NeuroTracker to educate our customers on adding a cognitive training component to their practice and welcome the opportunity to demonstrate the benefits our systems can provide to NeuroTracker users.Article by Dr. “There is a great synergy between our line of psychophysiological assessment and training instruments and the NeuroTracker cognitive training system. This information is used to help clients observe and learn to control their body’s reactions to stress, for performance enhancement and better health, the company notes in a media release. They provide a window into how these processes are functioning, in real-time.
Thought Technology’s instrumentation can assess both central and peripheral nervous system functioning, by measuring EEG, hand temperature, skin conductance (GSR), sEMG, respiration, BVP, EKG, and HRV (heart rate variability). Training with NeuroTracker enhances situational awareness, attention, executive function, and cognitive stamina, which helps people of all ages increase brain performance. It uses 3D multiple object tracking to train cognitive functions in a way that is representative of how the brain processes information in everyday life. The NeuroTracker is a patented system developed from research at the Faubert Lab (University of Montreal) led by Professor Jocelyn Faubert, a neuroscientist in the field of visual perception. Thought Technology Ltd announces they have entered a co-marketing agreement with NeuroTracker, makers of the NeuroTracker cognitive training system.
