Aim

To examine if cognitive assessments using NeuroTracker could be predictive of daily trader performance metrics.

Method

29 professional male traders aged between 35 and 65 years old were recruited NeuroStreet Trading Academy over a 9-month period. Using the remote NeuroTrackerX software and anaglyph 3D glasses the traders completed 6-minute assessments each work day, following standardized research protocols. Data from the Ninjatrader Trading Platform was used to record 7 key performance metrics across each day of trading.

Result

NeuroTracker data revealed a high learning response across a total of 624 days of trading. Data analyses showed a strong correlational relationship between daily NeuroTracker baselines and 5 of the trading performance metrics, with Total Net Profit being the most significant. The researchers concluded that a 6-minute NeuroTracker assessment was effective at predicting real-world trading performance on any given day.

NeuroTracker training reveals some moderate benefits for the decision-making abilities of law enforcement officers engaged in active duty.

Decision-Making for Law Enforcement Officers: Can "Brain-Training" Develop Critical Decision-Making Skills?

To investigate if NeuroTracker training can improve perceptual-cognitive skills related to decision-making skills for law enforcement officers.

40 elite law enforcement officers completed a pre-post test experiment on a video based simulated task environment to establish baseline scores for situational awareness, anticipation and decision-making skills. Participants were randomly assigned to training, control and passive groups. The training group completed NeuroTracker sessions around duty schedules over a period of three-weeks. Pre- and post-testing was scored by five police procedures subject-matter-experts.

The simulated task results showed an average decline in scores, the control participants remained unchanged, while the NeuroTracker group showed moderate increases. Improvements in NeuroTracker scores were observed overall, but varied atypically. Although some far transfer effects to law enforcement decision-making abilities were seen, fatigue and stress-related effects of active duty may have influenced results.
