1. A perceptual-cognitive-motor learning system, comprising:

  • an apparatus for improving perceptual-cognitive abilities of a subject during a plurality of successive tests, the apparatus including;

    a three-dimensional display apparatus configured to display stereoscopic images of virtual objects moving in a given three-dimensional environment during the plurality of successive tests, the display apparatus providing a visual contact between the virtual objects and a subject during the plurality of successive tests;

    a user interface for providing commands issued by the subject to a training sequence controller,the training sequence controller being operatively connected to the user interface for receiving the commands issued by the subject and to the three-dimensional display apparatus, the training sequence controller being configured to;

    define a training sequence, the training sequence including a first plurality of successive tests, a second plurality of successive tests having a first motor load causing no efferent signal from the subject'"'"'s brain and a third plurality of successive tests having a second motor load, the second motor load being heavier than the first motor load, wherein the virtual objects move in the three-dimensional environment during the first, second and third plurality of successive tests;

    cause the display apparatus to present the virtual objects in accordance with the first plurality of successive tests to the subject;

    receive, through the user interface, responses from the subject, the responses identifying the virtual objects during the first plurality of successive tests;

    receive, through the user interface, commands from the subject, the commands causing the training sequence controller to perform at least one of;

    causing the display apparatus to change a movement speed of the virtual objects;

    causing the display apparatus to reset the movement of the virtual objects; and

    setting a tracking speed of the virtual objects and presenting again the first plurality of successive tests to the subject, the movement speed of the virtual objects corresponding to the tracking speed;

    cause the display apparatus to present the virtual objects in accordance with the second plurality of successive tests to the subject;

    receive, through the user interface, responses from the subject, the responses identifying the virtual objects during the second plurality of successive tests;

    cause the display apparatus to present the virtual objects in accordance with the third plurality of successive tests to the subject;

    receive, through the user interface, responses from the subject, the responses identifying the virtual objects during the third plurality of successive tests;

    adjust the movement speed of the virtual objects in view of the responses received from the subject.
