Why Target-Neuro
Technology and Neuroscience Build a New Tactical Training Mindset
Elite athletes have precise training routines and access to the latest technology to gain even the smallest percentage in better performance. The tactical community is now benefitting from this elite athlete mindset with training methodologies that combine technology with neuroscience. This unique training methodology focuses on faster, more decisive response in law enforcement scenarios, preparing officers with exacting skills that target how the eyes, brain and body collaborate when seconds matter most.
Train for Better Attention, Reaction Time and Processing Speed
Target-Neuro has created a one-of-a-kind system that uses proven Neuroscience and visual cues along with a patented LED target system to improve tactical performance. By using the “Perception-Action Cycle,” the primary aim is to work on visual input, perception, cognitive process and the resulting execution.
Vision is Approximately 80% of Sensory Information Processed by the Brain
The demand of eye movement in critical situations is crucial to locate visual targets and stabilize images. By using multiple visual cues in training, Target-Neuro improves the four primary types of eye movements of:
Saccades (rapid movement of the eye between fixation points)
This increases the ability to prioritize targets and recognize threats quicker.
Once visual input is established, the brain takes over, using Cognition to evaluate options, process multiple outcomes, and make multiple decisions. While this seems to happen instantaneously, there is a significant amount of time that can be improved with targeted training. The goal is to pick up the given environment and make smart and decisive decisions, using impulse control for explosive and CORRECT Execution.
Milliseconds Make the Difference in De-Escalation or Violent Encounters
With a team of professional trainers in their fields, Target-Neuro combines proven neuroscience with a multi-programmable force-on-target system to create various dynamic and unique scenarios as a tool for tactical training.
Using the “The Big 3” Domains of Cognition of Attention, Processing Speed and Reaction Time, we train specific areas of the brain: the occipital lobe, the pre-frontal cortex, the cerebellum and the motor cortex
Attention – Ability to process relevant goal orientation information & ignore (filter out) irrelevant information unrelated to the goal.
Processing Speed – The time between receiving, understanding, and responding to a stimulus. Can be measured by the efficiency of physical response within a task that requires information processing and is measured in reaction time.
Reaction Time – Used as a measure to gauge the mental chronometer of the shift of attention.
Each of these areas is of massive importance in the tactical world and Target-Neuro is the only system that provides the training needed to increase the load on the brain to process information faster.
