Template 2: Enhancing Cognitive Function Using Perceptual-Cognitive Training

Highlights

A 3-hour NeuroTracker training intervention provided robust and wide improvements in high-level cognitive functions, along with correlated positive and sustained changes in brainwave frequencies.

Methodology

The study spanned 5 weeks, where 20 university-aged students were recruited and divided into an NT training group (30 sessions of NeuroTracker) and a non-active control group. Rigorous neuropsychological and qEEG evaluations were conducted before and after the training, revealing insights into cognitive progress.

Results

The Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA+Plus) demonstrated a noteworthy pre-post change of 8.18 (P < .01), underscoring the training's impact on enhancing focused attention. Moreover, the Delis-Kaplan Executive Functions System (D-KEFS) Inhibition task showcased a significant decrease of 5.40 (P < .004), indicating enhanced inhibitory control. These quantifiable improvements shed light on the potential efficacy of 3D-MOT training in refining cognitive capacities. Additionally, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) Block Design task exhibited a significant pre-post change of 8.00 (P < .001), indicating improvements in cognitive flexibility and spatial processing.

Takeaways

Within the pursuit of cognitive augmentation, 3D-MOT training emerges as a transformative intervention. The empirical evidence presented through NeuroTracker training encourages a fresh perspective on cognitive potential, grounded in quantitative analysis. Overall, results indicated that NeuroTracker is associated with enhanced attention, information processing speed, and working memory, and can also lead to positive changes in neuroelectric brain function.
