Overview
Guide to the Elite Minds science section
The first sections are designed to give a layperson an understanding of brain plasticity and how to use the tools available to generate improvements in brain functioning.
- Brain plasticity
- Keeping your brain healthy
The next sections are more in-depth, highlighting research into cognition and cognitive training across areas of specific application:
- Athlete enhancement research
- Athlete welfare research - also highlighting cognitive reserve theory, the use of cognitive training to treat acquired brain injuries, the use of imaging technology to ascertain the degree of brain injury and the links between acquired brain injuries and psychiatric disorders.
- Aviation research explores the transfer of skills from cognitive training to pilot performance and highlights the importance of cognitive abilities in relation to Situational Awareness.
- Driving research explores the transfer of skills from cognitive training to driver performance, highlighting the importance of different cognitive domains respective to the driving task.
The final sections are the program-specific case studies, peer-reviwed published research and the teams that have created these programs:
- Driving Studies - CogniFit, ROI Analysis, predicting collision risk, predicting duration of driver's training, cognitive training as a means to improve performance of senior drivers, performance differences of novice V experienced drivers
- Medical Research - CogniFit, peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals: improving cognitive skills in relation to: MCI, MS, Dyslexia, Gait and included a recently presented poster on Depression.
