Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to establish a methodology for measuring and evaluating "visual function that contributes to sports" from the viewpoint of brain information processing and improving the speed and accuracy of visual information processing by optimizing the brain state to improve sports performance. The study clarified that the visual ability to analyze the movement of an object (motion vision) is superior in ball-sports athletes than non-athletes and also that the superiority became clearer when the target was harder to detect due to the ambient noise. It suggests that advantage in motion vision is formed by daily practice, and visual information processing ability can be improved by training. During sports, various neuromodulators (noradrenaline and serotonin, etc.) are secreted into the brain, and the study found that these modify the state of the brain and improve visual target detectability.
