When I kept reading about brain training applications, it was clear that it is only a matter of time before the fastest sport ever - ice hockey - is addressed. Regarding Dr. Greenstein comment - there are studies that show that high fidelity simulation actually hinder performance, so I'm not sure about those video games. I read the stuff about the IntelliGym and it seems that these guys took a very effective and promising direction. Good luck guys! Alvaro — this is a great news.

A great boon to model how neuroscience and neurotech enhances athletic training. This takes Olympic methods of mental practice to a new level! By the way, tonite at mindshare.la I got to witness young entrepreneurs competing in computer volleyball and computer soccer. Yet another instance of software/gaming developing the neural networks of Hand-Eye coordination! The future of brain tech is emergent! M. A. Greenstein, Ph.D., R.Y.T.
