“…32,33 In contrast, stroboscopic training has been repeatedly reported to improve visual and visuomotor performance although the mechanism remained unclear. 5 Previous results of our group identified a strong relation between visuomotor performance gains following stroboscopic training and a lower N2 latency. 9,11,29 The same N2 latency was observed in this study to increase in stroboscopic vision.…”

“…Although the literature is mixed, and some experiments show no (or limited) performance improvements (see ref. [5] and ref. [6] for a review), an increasing number of studies report positive effects of stroboscopic training on visual and visuomotor functions.…”

“…However, as highlighted in a recent review article by Elliot et al, 5 there is still a limited understanding of the processes contributing to performance enhancements following stroboscopic training. In contrast to altitude training where the physiological effects of an altitude exposure are well investigated, it is still unclear how stroboscopic eyewear affects the neural processing of visual motion information when compared to unrestricted vision.…”

Stroboscopic training has repeatedly been shown to improve visual and visuomotor performance in sports. Although recent research suggests that stroboscopic vision puts a training stimulus to the central nervous system, the underlying mechanism how it affects motion perception and processing in the brain is still unknown. Twenty‐six participants performed a computer‐based simple reaction test in response to a visual motion stimulus under normal (baseline) and stroboscopic conditions (5 Hz frequency, 40% duty cycle) (stroboscopic). A third condition under normal vision intermittently stopped the motion stimulus at the same frequency and duty cycle as in the stroboscopic condition. This condition controlled for the amount of visual motion information independent of the shutter glasses (screen shutter) and provided information about the effect of luminance changes induced by the stroboscopic eyewear. A 64‐channel EEG was recorded to determine the amplitude and latency of the N2 component as a correlate of visual motion perception in the motion‐sensitive visual area MT. Reaction time under stroboscopic conditions was significantly delayed when compared to both the baseline (p < 0.001) and screen shutter (p < 0.001) conditions. This was accompanied by a significantly prolonged N2 latency (p < 0.001) and lower N2 amplitude (p < 0.001) with the shutter glasses. There was no difference in reaction time or N2 amplitude/latency between the baseline and screen shutter condition (p ≥ 0.176). Stroboscopic eyewear delays the speed of visual motion perception and processing in the central nervous system and reduces the visuomotor reaction speed. This may form the neurophysiological basis for performance gains following stroboscopic training.

“…The duration of visual information for action has been manipulated through the use vision occlusion glasses worn by the performer ( Milgram, 1987 ). Elliott and colleagues (see Elliott and Bennett, 2020 ) have conducted research where intermittent visual information of a projected ball was presented during one handed catching. The main finding from these series of studies is that intermittent visual samples, rather than continuous vision, of ball flight information is sufficient to maintain catching performance.…”

This study investigated whether performance of an interceptive skill requires an intact visual-perception-action cycle. Eleven skilled male Australian rules football athletes (Mage = 17.54, SD = 0.15) were recruited from an elite developmental pathway squad for a within-subject study. Participants were required to kick a ball directly at a goal from a 20-meter distance while wearing a pair of stroboscopic glasses. The glasses were used to create four vision conditions. Condition one kept intact the visual-perception-action cycle with uninterrupted vision of the motor skill. Three other conditions included stroboscopic vision that presented temporal samples of vision, which interrupted the perception-action cycle through progressive increases to intermittent vision occlusion of the motor skill. Goal kick error of ball position relative to a central target line within the goal and number of successful goals kicked were measured. Written report of internal and external focus of attention was also measured after each vision condition. Generalized estimating equation analysis did not reveal a significant decrement in kick target error, nor accuracy of goals scored, across normal to stroboscopic vision conditions. Performance was maintained despite a shift in attention focus from external to internal across normal to stroboscopic vision conditions. These findings have theoretical and practical implications for the visual regulation of skilled interceptive actions.
