Perceptual-cognitive-motor learning system and method
First Claim
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.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a perceptual-cognitive-motor learning system. The system includes an apparatus for evaluating or improving perceptual-cognitive abilities of a subject during a training sequence. The system also has a training sequence controller for adding in at least a part of the training sequence at least one of (a) a first motor load add-on to the subject and (b) a second motor load add-on to the subject, the second motor load being heavier than the first motor load. A variant of the system has a user interface for allowing the subject to change at least one parameter of the training sequence. Methods for evaluating or improving perceptual-cognitive abilities of a subject are also disclosed.
