Summary

NeuroTracker is a perceptual-cognitive training tool that strengthens attention, working memory, processing speed, peripheral awareness, decision-making under load, and dual-tasking. While NeuroTracker has not yet been approved to diagnose or treat any medical condition, and should not be used in this manner without professional medical supervision, a large body of research reports transfer to everyday functional abilities. Because many health conditions involve reductions in these same capacities, clinics and individuals often use NeuroTracker as a supportive tool to help manage cognitive-functional demands and quality of life, alongside standard care.

Regulatory note

NeuroTracker has not yet been approved to diagnose or treat any medical condition, and should not be used in this manner without professional medical supervision. The information below summarizes evidence for functional transfer and accessibility to help clinicians and consumers consider potential fit in wellness and rehabilitation contexts.

What NeuroTracker trains—and why that matters

Brief, progressive sessions of 3D multiple-object tracking (3D-MOT) target:

  • Selective & sustained attention
  • Working memory & processing speed
  • Peripheral awareness & situational scanning
  • Decision-making under cognitive load
  • Split attention / dual-tasking

These foundations support daily activities such as deskwork focus, computer use, navigation, safe mobility, and hand–eye coordination. When a condition affects these domains, training the underlying functions may help people better manage everyday tasks and cognitive effort.

Evidence at a glance

  • 120+ peer-reviewed studies on NeuroTracker and closely related protocols report significant gains in core cognitive functions, often within ~3 hours of total training time. Explore the library on the NeuroTracker Science Portal.
  • Research shows transfer to real-world performance domains (e.g., hand function, driving-relevant attention, biological-motion perception, decision-making under fatigue).
  • Accessibility: Feasibility work shows unusually high accessibility, even for individuals with substantial challenges. See: Can Children With Severe Cognitive Challenges Perform Cognitive Training?
  • Why NeuroTracker differs from generic “brain trainers”: stimulus design, dosing, and adaptive load are engineered to promote generalizable transfer. See: Why NeuroTracker Differs to Brain Trainers.

We intentionally avoid quantifying percent gains here. For details, see individual papers in the Science Portal.

Selected evidence examples (medical/clinical populations)

As support for managing functional demands—not diagnosis or treatment.

1) Mild Cognitive Impairment/Dementia — transfer to manual dexterity

Design: Older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia completed short NeuroTracker training.
Outcome: Participants showed improved manual dexterity on structured tasks, suggesting that training attention/processing can carry over to everyday hand function.
Reference: Effect of 3D Multiple-Object Tracking Training on Manual Dexterity in Elderly Adults With Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment

2) Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) — transfer to driving-relevant attention & cognitive tests

Design: Short-dose pilot training in participants with relapsing-remitting MS.
Outcome: Improvements on driving-relevant attention measures (e.g., Useful Field of View) and select neurocognitive tests after training, consistent with support for everyday attentional demands in daily living contexts.

3) Healthy/Older Adults — transfer to biological-motion perception

Design: Approximately three hours of NeuroTracker-style training in adults.
Outcome: Improved biological-motion perception, a visual skill linked to collision avoidance, navigation, and social cue interpretation, suggesting relevance for functional safety and independence as people age.

4) Community-dwelling older adults — fall-risk–related measures

Design: ~5-week NeuroTracker (3D-MOT) program in community-dwelling older adults versus controls, with pre/post testing on standardized fall-risk proxies (e.g., Timed Up & Go, Functional Reach, 5-m walk).
Outcome: The training group improved on multiple fall-risk–related assessments, while controls tended to decline on several measures. This supports NeuroTracker as a complementary tool to help older adults manage mobility and balance demands.

Who might find NeuroTracker relevant?

(Indicators of functional fit—not promises of outcomes.)

  • Aging / cognitive decline contexts: supporting attention, situational awareness, and mental stamina to aid independence.
  • Attention/executive challenges: sustaining focus, task switching, dual-tasking, and working memory during study/work demands.
  • Neurological conditions (e.g., MS, CP, post-injury histories): supporting deskwork endurance, computer focus, environmental scanning, and safer mobility.
  • Balance / falls contexts: strengthening attentional allocation and peripheral awareness that underlie safe gait in complex environments.
  • Vision-related functional issues (clinician-guided): enhancing visual tracking and decision-making speed under load.

Why clinics integrate NeuroTracker

  • Short sessions: typically ~6 minutes, with modest weekly volume.
  • Progressive load: adaptive difficulty sustains the “just-hard-enough” zone linked to transfer.
  • Easy to layer: pairs with PT/OT/SLP/VT programs as a cognitive-load scaffold for functional tasks.
  • Accessible & scalable: low time burden, simple instructions, and remote supervision options.

Implementation tips for clinics

  • Screen for suitability: cognitive-load tolerance, vision status, fatigue thresholds.
  • Set functional goals: e.g., “30 minutes of computer work with fewer lapses,” “more confident hallway navigation,” “steadier steps on stairs.”
  • Pair with task practice: run NeuroTracker first (prime attention), then practice the functional task while attention is up-regulated.
  • Track what matters: brief patient-reported outcomes (deskwork focus, mobility confidence) and therapist observations.
  • Review weekly: adjust timing and dose relative to fatigue/medication schedules.

Frequently asked questions

Is NeuroTracker approved to treat medical conditions?
No. NeuroTracker has not yet been approved to diagnose or directly treat any medical condition, and should not be used in this manner without professional medical supervision. Many clinics use it as a complementary cognitive-training tool to help manage daily demands alongside standard care.

Is there research in medical or aging populations?
Yes. Peer-reviewed studies report transfer to everyday functional domains—such as manual dexterity, driving-relevant attention, biological-motion perception, and fall-risk–related measures—after short training doses. See the Science Portal.

How long does training take?
Many studies report meaningful gains in core cognitive domains within roughly three hours of total training time, delivered in short (~6-minute) sessions.

Can NeuroTracker replace therapy or medication?
No. It is a complementary training tool. Clinical decisions should be made with a healthcare professional.

Can people with significant impairments use NeuroTracker?
Feasibility work suggests unusually high accessibility, even for individuals with substantial challenges. See: Feasibility in Severe Cognitive Challenges.
