System and method for elevated speed firearms training
First Claim
1. A method of conditioning a trainee'"'"'s firearms skills, comprising the steps of:
- collecting a trainee profile of pre-engagement attributes, including trainee'"'"'s physical attributes, firearm attributes, and trainee'"'"'s firearm use attributes;
sequentially displaying visual stimuli, including targets to be engaged by the trainee with a firearm;
capturing engagement data relating to the trainee'"'"'s engagement of the targets;
a trainer analyzing the engagement data to identify performance deficiencies; and
the trainer further analyzing the engagement data and performance deficiencies relative to the trainee'"'"'s pre-engagement profile to identify at least one assumed remediation likely to improve the performance deficiencies.

Abstract
The system and method to advance human performance in sighting, tracking, recognizing, and reacting to (collectively “engaging”) moving and stationary stimuli, for example, advancing skill in engaging targets with a firearm. System components include software and hardware that provide target and non-target image stimuli that can be manually or automatically generated as stationary or moving stimuli in a blank, gridded, or a rendered scene environment. The methods including an initial phase providing increasing stimuli rigor, for example, movement speeds and/or reducing the interval between or the time for which stimuli are displayed, a plateau level of stimuli rigor which is above that which any trainee can properly engage the stimuli, and then a reduced stimuli rigor level, for example, the movement speeds and/or increase the interval time to levels at which the trainee properly engages the stimuli. By repeating training methods with increasing rigor, the trainee will be conditioned to achieve proper stimuli engagement with increasingly elevated speed and accuracy.
