ABOUT MINDROOM

MindRoom Peak Sport Performance (MindRoom PSP) is the product of years of experience in the fields of sport science, psychophysiology and sports psychology, the result of which is an integrated technological approach that enhances the performance of athletes and teams. Learn about this innovative sports science approach currently used by peak performing organizations such as the Navy Seals, NASA, AC Milan, Chelsea FC and Canadian Olympic Teams.

The unique feature of the MindRoom PSP approach is to use the traditional sport psychology skills of confidence, attentional focus, energy management/activation, motivation, composure, visualization and combine these with computer driven technology (e.g., biofeedback, neurofeedback, reaction time training, decision training, vision training etc.) to measure and train athletes to respond effectively to pressure and performance on demand. This integrated sport science approach can lead not only to individualized training protocols and performance enhancement, but also toward athlete confidence, resilience and mental toughness to meet the challenges of competition.

Biofeedback allows the athlete to monitor and adjust their heart rate, respiration rate, muscle tension, skin conductance and skin temperature to achieve Heart Rate Variability (HRV) which allows athletes to go harder/intensity for a longer period of time due to physiological efficiency. Neurofeedback is a technology that directly measures EEG brainwave activity and provides feedback on how the athlete can relax and/or focus in different situations based on applied research with athletes. Biofeedback Reaction time teaches athletes what their Individual Zone of Optimal Functioning (IZOF) while responding to external stimuli. Vision training teaches athletes to enhance their visual skills such as peripheral awareness, eye-hand coordination and speed and span recognition while maintaining focus utilizing their central vision system. Decision training identifies not only how athletes make performance decisions, but also how to facilitate visual perception and decisive action to enhance performance. As a result, adding the MindRoom to a training program helps the athlete achieve measurable and remarkable improvements in confidence and peak performance.

The Biofeedback/Neurofeedback and Reaction Time technologies and knowledge-base for the “MindRoom” were originally developed for Italy’s AC Milan soccer team by Professor Bruno Demichelis, founder and former Scientific Director of Milan Lab and presently doing the same at Chelsea FC, in conjunction with Thought Technology Ltd, a Canadian biotechnology company. Since that time, other teams have adopted this technology, including Real Madrid FC and the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL.
