Why train your brain and your vision?
Your senses dominate your ability to control movement and responsiveness. With 80% of the brain dedicated to sensory processing, improving your senses dramatically impacts both quality of life and overall athletic performance. This one solution promotes brain health to maximize performance and improve vision, focus and mobility for people at all stages in life. Vision training has little to do with improving eyesight. It is a form of perceptual learning intended to improve the ability to process what is seen. By repeatedly activating the visual sensory neurons, they increase their ability to send electrical signals from one cell to another across connecting synapses. With sensory neurons, just like muscles, it’s use it or lose it. The more they are used the better they perform. As the eyes are responsible for gathering over 2/3rd’s of all information fed to the muscular skeletal system, the athlete who focuses on physical conditioning only is neglecting a key component...VISION! The visual system determines where and when to hit, throw and catch a ball, and enables the body to move precisely through three dimensional space.
“Eyesight is simply the ability to see something clearly, the so-called 20/20 eyesight (as measured in a standard eye examination with a Snellenchart). Vision goes beyond eyesight and can best be defined as the understanding of what is seen. Vision involves the ability to take incoming visual information, process that information and obtain meaning from it.”

The Senaptec App
The Senaptec app provides remote access to the sensory training program. This subscription-based app can be used in your home or on the field.
How does it work?
The Senaptec App is portable training designed as an extension to the Senaptec Sensory Station. The Senaptec algorithm learns and adapts to help push people forward and achieve better results. We recommend a daily regimen of 10-15 minutes. As sensory skills improve, the Senaptec App will automatically increase the difficulty to continue honing these skills.  Via a proctor portal, the app utilizes our secure cloud technology to manage data and to provide immediate comparative results, allowing you to fully manage your programs and progress.
App downloads and comparability
The Senaptec App is compatible with Apple and Android devices. On your tablet, download and install the Senaptec App from App Store or Google Play.  Some training modules require a smartphone connected to the tablet via Bluetooth. On your smartphone, download and install the Senaptec Remote App from the App Store or Google Play. The apps will connect seamlessly.
Custom Plan and Modules
The training/therapy plan is developed uniquely for each player and can include exercises from all Senaptec Sensory Station training modules.

Sport Specific Training Plans
- Baseball skills (specific to position) – Basketball - Football - Soccer - Hockey - Shooting - E-sport - Volleyball - Tennis
‍
14 Modules
‍
Eye Hand Coordination - Find and touch the targets quickly and accurately. Works on gross motor movement and accurate response.
‍Go / No-Go - Touch the “Go” targets before they disappear but do not touch the “No-Go” targets. This requires quick decision making and swift movement.
‍Dynamic Vision - Move your eyes to follow the target on the screen. This trains peripheral vision awareness and rapid eye movement.
‍Perception Training - Symbols appear briefly, requiring a person to quickly take in information in both central and peripheral vision. This can help the brain’s data collection and memory.
‍Response Inhibition - Go targets and No-Go targets will appear momentarily in a single location. Touch the Go targets before they disappear but do not touch the No-Go targets. This trains rapid decision making and muscle response.
Spatial Memory - A set of targets will appear momentarily on the screen. Afterward, touch the screen in the locations the targets had appeared. This helps train spatial memory skills.
‍Spatial Sequence - A variation of spatial memory, in this module targets will appear and disappear sequentially. Touch the screen in the location and order the targets appeared.
‍Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) - The MOT skill in life often helps avoid collisions. Move a dot to avoid collisions with multiple objects that are moving around the screen.
‍
Depth Perception - Challenges and trains judging depth at distance, either under time pressure or with unlimited time. Judging depth is fundamental for perceiving the world.
‍Near Far Shift - This module uses the Senaptec handheld remote and a screen at distance to train the eye muscles to rapidly shift focus and recognize details. Quick near far shift capability is important in all areas of life, from sports to driving to walking through a store.
‍Visual Search - Quickly find and touch the single target amongst the distractors. Search and find tasks are critical for success in most sports and real-world activities.
‍Tempo - Maintain rhythm by touching the target with each beat. This module is useful for training audio/visual correlation and anticipation timing.
‍Shape Cancellation - Find and touch all the targets but do not touch the distractors. This module helps assess for visual neglect issues.  
‍
‍Visual Motor Integration - Draw on the screen with your finger to repeat the pattern, either by tracing or looking at an adjacent shape. This training works on neuromotor skills and visual guided motion.
