For
Performance

Integrating brain health with high-performance training

the challenge

Peak performance requires disciplined focus on full spectrum health optimization to gain performance advantages. That spectrum includes physical training, practice, weight management, nutrition, hydration, and sleep.

Optimized brain health includes cognitive processing, agility and mental well-being. All are critical factors in peak performance, where the ability to react and respond as quickly and accurately as possible is key.

the solution

The NeuroCatch^® Platform is designed to measure cognitive processing directly using real-time brain responses. It measures cognitive processing speed and agility using millisecond resolution, providing peak performers with the data necessary to gain critically valuable reaction time advantages and maintain them through ongoing monitoring. NeuroCatch^® is also sensitive to measure cognitive brain changes following suspected concussion and can be used by healthcare practitioners as a tool to help guide clinical care-related decisions.^[1]

The objective measurements of cognitive brain functions help peak-performance specialists understand how to get the best out of their brain performance throughout their training program. It also helps ensure cognitive performance is consistently optimized in the event of recovery from fatigue, injuries, and related factors.^[2]

Since June of 2019, Advantage 4 Athletes has been utilizing NeuroCatch^® in the assessment of our patients dealing with neurological conditions. In providing a detailed, objective perspective on a patient’s neurological functioning we can measure progress in a far more comprehensive way. NeuroCatch^® functions allow us to see the story of a patient’s treatment unfold.
