Vision and cognition testing and/or training under stress conditions
First Claim
1. A method for improving athletic performance, the method comprising:
- subjecting a test subject to a stress condition comprising at least one of an aerobic or anaerobic activity using a first apparatus comprising a stress-inducing device; and
providing a test to the test subject using a second apparatus comprising;
a test unit;
a display device communicatively coupled to the test unit, andat least one of a head monitor and an eye monitor communicatively coupled to the test unit and used to monitor corresponding movement of the test subject, wherein the first and second apparatuses are distinct,wherein the test comprises;
displaying a visual stimulus to the test subject on the display device;
determining a correct response to the visual stimulus by the test subject;
receiving a response from the test subject at an input device;
capturing at least one of head and eye movement of the test subject from the at least one of the head and eye monitors;
determining if the response is the correct response; and
calculating a score based on the response being correct or incorrect and a degree of head or eye movement of the test subject captured by the at least one of the head and eye monitors.

Abstract
The visual and cognitive skills of a subject may be tested and/or trained by providing a visual stimulus to a subject. More particularly, a subject may be tested and/or trained when under a stress condition to determine the effect of a stress condition, such as a physical stress or a cognitive stress, on the subject'"'"'s visual and sensory skills. A response may be received from a subject via an input device, the appropriateness of which may depend upon the stimulus provided to the subject. Behavioral information and other data regarding the performance of a subject and the possible effect of the stress condition may be recorded. Scoring may be based upon the speed, accuracy, and other aspects of the performance of a subject.

15. A method for testing and/or training athletic performance, the method comprising:
-
subjecting a test subject to a stress condition comprising a physical stress using a first apparatus comprising a stress-inducing device; and providing a test to the test subject using a second apparatus, wherein the test comprises; emitting an auditory stimulus to the test subject from an audio device associated with the second apparatus; determining a correct response to the auditory stimulus based on a direction of origin of the auditory stimulus; receiving a response from the test subject; capturing at least one of head and eye movement of the test subject from at least one of a head monitor and an eye monitor associated with the second apparatus; determining if the response is the correct response, the correct response being at least the direction of origin of the auditory stimulus; and calculating a score based on the response being correct or incorrect and a degree of head or eye movement of the test subject received from the at least one of the head and eye monitors.
