| Research Abstract |
We investigated the effects of anti-saccade training with neck flexion for 3 weeks on the eye movement performance and frontal activity in the young and elderly. For both groups, anti-saccade performance was improved through the training nevertheless neck posture during the training. For the young, training with neck flexion showed a synergistic effect on frontal activity. For the elderly, the synergistic effects were found on the performance and frontal activity.
