Training system and method for improving cognition and motor timing
First Claim
1. A system for training a subject to improve anticipatory timing, comprising:
- a display to present to the subject multiple sequences of visual stimuli;
a sensor that produces sensor signals corresponding to responses by the subject to the visual stimuli;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for performing a sequence of operations, including;
presenting to the subject the multiple sequences of visual stimuli;
recording response times in accordance with the sensor signals, wherein the recorded response times are associated with the responses by the subject to the multiple sequences of stimuli, and wherein the response times have an associated distribution;
analyzing the distribution of response times for the subject to determine variability in anticipatory timing of the subject with respect to the stimuli; and
presenting a subject feedback signal to the subject, the feedback signal corresponding to a result of the analyzing, and repeating the sequence of operations so as to train the subject to improve anticipatory timing and reduce variability of the subject responses with respect to the stimuli.

Abstract
A method of training a subject to improve anticipatory timing includes presenting the subject with multiple sequences of stimuli, receiving sensor signals associated with responses by the subject to the stimuli, and recording response times in accordance with the sensor signals, wherein the recorded response times are associated with the responses by the subject to the multiple sequences of stimuli, and wherein the response times have an associated distribution. The method further includes analyzing the distribution of response times for the subject to determine variability in anticipatory timing of the subject with respect to the stimuli, and generating a subject feedback signal corresponding to a result of the analyzing so as to train the subject to improve anticipatory timing of the subject. Also disclosed is a system for performing the aforementioned training method.
