Visualization testing and/or training
First Claim
1. A system for testing or training the stability of an individual, the system comprising:
- a display device that provides visual stimuli to the individual for a first period of time;
at least one stability measurement device that measures the balance of the individual; and
a control unit coupled to the at least one stability measurement device configured to;
(1) collect a first set of measurement data while the display device provides the visual stimuli to the individual for the first period of time,(2) prevent the individual from being exposed to the visual stimuli and collect a second set of measurement data while the individual is instructed to form a mental image of the visual stimuli, the second set of measurement data collected during a second period of time not coextensive with the first period of time, and(3) compare the first set of measurement data to the second set of measurement data to evaluate the individual.

Abstract
The visual and/or visualization skills of a subject may be tested and/or trained using systems and methods in accordance with the present invention. Visual stimuli may be presented to a test subject. Measurements relating to the performance of the subject, such as stability information, eye movement data, physiological information, or other information, may be made both with and without visual stimuli being provided to a subject. Similar measurements may be made while the subject visualizes the visual stimuli, and the collected data may be compared to evaluate the subject'"'"'s ability to visualize visual stimuli. Secondary stimuli may also be provided to subject as part of this process, or mental activities may be required by subject as well.

9. A computerized method stored on a non-transient storage medium carried out by a visualization training system having at least one processor for testing or training the visualization ability of an individual, the method comprising:
-
measuring performance of the individual while the individual is exposed to a first set of visual stimuli by a display device to obtain a first set of performance data; preventing the individual from being exposed to the first set of visual stimuli and measuring performance of the individual while the individual is instructed to form a mental image of the first set of visual stimuli to obtain a second set of performance data; and comparing, using the at least one processor, the first set of performance data and the second set of performance data to evaluate the visualization ability of the individual. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
