Montreal-based cognitive training company NeuroTracker recently launched NuTrain, a consumer-friendly Internet version of its normally large and expensive multiple-object tracking system.
This new in-home version, like the larger-scale model, claims to help users develop and “boost” their awareness, decision-making and attention. The target consumers are athletes hoping to improve their performance much like Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan does when he uses NeuroTracker.
NuTrain users wear 3D glasses and attempt to track objects moving across a screen for a very short period of time — roughly eight seconds. Eight yellow spheres are displayed, two of which are subsequently highlighted on the screen.
