Neurofeedback Training for Rifle Shooters to Improve Cognitive Ability

Neuro-Feedback System Enhancing the Level of Symmetry in Left and Right Brain Activities

“…For example, Liu et al proposed an experiment in which a new type of individual (beta-1/theta) based neural circuit training was conducted to identify uses for neurofeedback training in recruiting elite shooters and to improve the performance of rifle FIGURE 1. S tructure of Neurofeedback S ystem shooters [13]. Keavy et al suggested that neurofeedback could be used as a treatment, and although results using biofeedback cannot compete with drug therapy, there are significantly fewer side effects when it comes to ADHD therapy [14].…”

The Effect of Neurofeedback on the Reaction Time and Cognitive Performance of Athletes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Experienced athletes show a consistent performance at optimal levels (Filho et al, 2021 ), and all performance situations in sports require reaction time (Mirifar et al, 2017 ) and cognitive skills (Liu et al, 2017 ), so it is necessary to look for adequate and effective training protocols in the literature. There is a consensus that meta-analysis is at the top of the evidence in the scientific pyramid.…”

“…Another index that we can use to assess the cognitive performance of athletes that seems to be congruent with most sports is executive functions, i.e., a set of goal-oriented cognitive processes that allow us to control and regulate our thoughts, emotions, and actions in the face of adversity (Diamond, 2013 ; Russo and Ottoboni, 2019 ). According to the study by Liu et al ( 2017 ), NFB training proved to help improve cognitive skills for athletes, the efficiency of NFB training was examined by comparing shooting scores, and Sustained Attention Test (DAUF) test results evaluated the sustained attention capacity of athletes (shooters) before and after NFB training.…”

EEG-based emotion recognition using machine learning techniques

“…The recognized emotion states can be the sole or additional input to other program that controls the flow of program executions. EEG-based emotion recognition also sees applicational potentials in fields like human factor study [179], emotion therapy [180], maritime [10,179], shooter performance analysis [181], air traffic controller monitoring [9,182], etc.…”

“…The application could potentially be used for real-time emotion monitoring and may be beneficial to marketing surveyors, caregivers, etc. We stress that the potential application areas of EEG-based emotion recognition are wider than what we have demonstrated here, including but not limited to human factor study [179], emotion therapy [180], maritime [10,179], shooter performance analysis [181], air traffic controller monitoring [9,182], etc.…”
