While NeuroTracker always involves tracking multiple objects, there are different modes that add a twist to the training.
These modes target different facets of attention, to push your attention and focus to the limit!
Core is the standard training mode that involves 20 trials of 4-8 seconds. Depending on your results, the speed will adjust automatically.
Core is the primary session mode that is used in the majority of research protocols
Overload locks the speed at 10% higher than your current baseline score. This will help acclimatize to higher speeds and help your breakthrough plateaus.
This session calculates the score using the total number of correct targets. So every target counts!
The Sustain modes has two parts. The first is a long self-paced trial, where you can manually adjust the speed of the targets and highlight them when you lose track. The second part involves 6 standard trials, based on your performance in the first part.
This session focuses on sustained attention, which helps you focus for longer periods.
Selective involves primary and secondary targets. To succeed, not only do you need to recall all of the targets, but you must also remember which one was the primary target.
This mode focuses on selective attention, which helps you switch attention between separate tasks.
The Distribute mode uses two different color targets, 4 yellow and 4 blue. The task is to overcome your natural instinct to follow a single color and remain focused on the correct targets.
This session focuses on distributed attention, which helps you split your focus across multiple streams of information.
Unlike other modes, in which the target speed remains constant within each trial, the Dynamic mode incorporates speed surges. This means that the targets will randomly speed up and slow down throughout each trial.
The Dynamic mode focuses on dynamic attention, which allows you to stay focused when situations are changing rapidly or unpredictable.
In Stamina mode, you 15 lives and continue training until you reach zero. Similar to Overload, the speed is fixed just above you normal level and each target counts.
This mode focuses on attention stamina, allowing you to maintain your focus for longer.
The final score is known as the Stamina Rating, which accounts for the speed, number of targets, and how many trials the user completed.
