Frequently Asked Questions

Cognitive Vision Training, also referred to as Neuro-Visual Training, consists of exercises and drills that improve your speed of reaction (the time it takes to correctly respond to information). Regardless of the sport, information processing — the brain — is most important. It involves everything from the moment photons hit your eyes, to image recognition, to calculating speed and trajectory, to activating muscles in response to the information received.

Cognitive Vision Training introduces unpredictable information during exercises and drills that instructs the athlete on what to do next. For example, if the athlete sees Vector® Ball turn green, they must catch it with their left hand or move left. The athlete does not know what to do until they see the color Vector® Ball provides. Cognitive Vision Training strengthens the brain’s ability to process information — and like muscles, the brain improves with exercise.

Vector® Ball is a Cognitive Vision Training device that randomly changes color (red, green, or blue) with each impact (bounce, catch, etc.). This random color change provides unpredictable information during exercises and drills, enabling true Cognitive Vision Training. For example, if the athlete sees Vector® Ball turn red, they must catch it with their right hand or move right. The athlete never knows the next action until the color appears. Vector® Ball is the most versatile Cognitive Vision Training device available.

Vector® Ball emits a short burst of light, randomly changing its color (red, green, or blue) upon impact. This unpredictable color change delivers real-time information that drives Cognitive Vision Training. It supports countless Neuro-Visual training drills and is completely maintenance-free.
