“…Visuo-spatial-motor training is nowadays ubiquitous in enhancing athletes’ abilities [ 105 ]. The asset of visuo-spatial-motor training is: shutting down the view has the effect of saccades performing slightly poorer, which increases the saccade size [ 227 ].…”

“…The visuo-spatial-motor-motor intervention in this research was performed upon invitation by the sport training expert (GS), because of his expertise in such training for athletes [ 105 ]. The research into effectivity of this renovated training program took place in 2019 and comprised of three groups: An observational control group, a group of trained by physical therapy (named the ‘motor group’), and a group trained by physical therapy + visuo-spatial-motor training (named the ‘visuo-motor group’).…”

“…The medical 2018 wake-up call could lead to new training programs for old adults and patients with conditions such as schizophrenia, which has been linked to weaker motion segregation. Prior neural work paved the way to distinguish neural fields competing in visual perception versus dexterous command [ 105 ]. Such new training from motor to visuo-spatial-motor by DeLoss improved near acuity in older adults [ 106 ], sustained by later arguments from Nemoto et al [ 107 ].…”

Falls in the geriatric population are one of the most important causes of disabilities in this age group. Its consequences impose a great deal of economic burden on health and insurance systems. This study was conducted by a multidisciplinary team with the aim of evaluating the effect of visuo-spatial-motor training for the prevention of falls in older adults. The subjects consisted of 31 volunteers aged 60 to 92 years who were studied in three groups: (1) A group under standard physical training, (2) a group under visuo-spatial-motor interventions, and (3) a control group (without any intervention). The results of the study showed that visual-spatial motor exercises significantly reduced the risk of falls of the subjects.

“…In this case, the midpoint of the NDR segment for the F pw (G) function is shifted to the origin, and it corresponds to the best approximation of the F pw (G) function using cubic nonlinearity F q (G). Based on Equation 11, the inductive current IL models the behavior of the membrane potential G, and the voltage on the capacitor U0 reflects the slow recovery potential W. The input signal Uin(t) is analogous to the input current Iext (t) of the neuron in Equations (6) and 7. Based on Equation (11), the inductive current I L models the behavior of the membrane potential G, and the voltage on the capacitor U 0 reflects the slow recovery potential W. The input signal U in (t) is analogous to the input current I ext (t) of the neuron in Equations (6) and (7).…”

In this paper, we present circuit solutions based on a switch element with the S-type I–V characteristic implemented using the classic FitzHugh–Nagumo and FitzHugh–Rinzel models. Using the proposed simplified electrical circuits allows the modeling of the integrate-and-fire neuron and burst oscillation modes with the emulation of the mammalian cold receptor patterns. The circuits were studied using the experimental I–V characteristic of an NbO2 switch with a stable section of negative differential resistance (NDR) and a VO2 switch with an unstable NDR, considering the temperature dependences of the threshold characteristics. The results are relevant for modern neuroelectronics and have practical significance for the introduction of the neurodynamic models in circuit design and the brain–machine interface. The proposed systems of differential equations with the piecewise linear approximation of the S-type I–V characteristic may be of scientific interest for further analytical and numerical research and development of neural networks with artificial intelligence.

“…These studies indicated that visual function is better among athletes than among non-athletes and that highly skilled athletes have better visual function than lower-skilled athletes 5 – 7 . Other studies have reported that these visual functions could be improved through training 7 , 9 , 16 – 20 .…”

This study investigated whether the eight standard tests of sports vision used in Japan appropriately reflect sports vision; whether all eight tests are necessary; and if not, which combination yields the optimal model. Participants were kendo practitioners (exercise group, n = 41) and those with no exercise habits (non-exercise group, n = 65). The performance of the two groups on all eight tests were compared. The groups differed in static visual acuity, kinetic visual acuity, and eye/hand coordination. A high correlation (r = 0.75) was observed between static visual acuity and kinetic visual acuity, while contrast sensitivity was moderately correlated with static visual acuity and kinetic visual acuity (r = 0.6), and dynamic visual acuity was moderately correlated with eye/hand coordination (r = − 0.66). Logistic regression analysis indicated that it is not necessary to conduct all eight tests; the optimal model included static visual acuity, visual reaction time, and eye/hand coordination. Our results suggest that static visual acuity, visual reaction time, and eye/hand coordination are sufficient for assessing visual function in kendo practitioners. For other sports, it may be possible to construct discriminative models using the same method and determine which aspects of visual function and which training methods to emphasise in a given sport.
