2. Welcome to your “Train Your Brain” work out
session. I’m Spencer, the team sport psychologist. One
of the techniques used to train one’s brain without
actually being on the football field, is to mentally
visualize what you would do when given a football
play within your mind (this is an actual technique used
to increase athletic performance). However, there have
been great developments in neuroscience and we will
be using a brand new piece of equipment. Instead of
mentally visualizing the action, we will use a machine
to electrically stimulate the appropriate areas of the
brain to activate those areas necessary for making
decisions, seeing, hearing, increasing heart rate, etc.
By electrically stimulating the brain region, we will
strengthen neural pathways so that when you actually
play football on the field, those pathways will
automatically pass the needed information to each area
of the brain to do what you want to do. Yes, I know
it’s complicated but give it a chance.

3. Let me introduce you to our
NeuroElectroStimulator (NES). I call
NESy for short.
Have a seat, I’ll turn it on. NESy’s he
will lower onto your head and the
monitors will swing in front of you.
4. Before we get started, I’d like to tell
your goals for this training session. Y
are to be sure you
•learn the names of the primary brain
structures
•learn the locations of those structure
•and, very importantly, learn the func
of those structures.
5. As a football player dedicated to your c
it is assumed that you have read over th
playbook (i.e., your textbook) before
participating in these training sessions.
you haven’t, you should at least have it
during them. Even taking a few notes
couldn’t hurt. Good luck with your trai
Now let’s familiarize you with NESy.

As you may know from your
Neurocommunication training, the brain uses
electricity to communicate. So when you click on a
brain structure you are causing that structure to
electrically activate and do its natural job whether
it’s moving a body part, or causing a conscious
experience such as a thought, emotion or
sensation.

19. NeuroTraining
The really cool thing about NESy is that it
allows you to train your brain by merely
clicking the mouse. Let’s begin your training.
I will pose you a training task (e.g., move
your right leg) and you will use NESy to
stimulate the appropriate brain area to
complete that task. Your stimulation will
strengthen connections with these brain
structures, thus Training Your Brain.
19
20. NeuroTraining
If you click on the correct brain areas during this
training, you will become a super athlete. If you
click on the incorrect brain area(s), you will train
your brain incorrectly and become an even more
lame football player than you already are. We’ll
start off simple and gradually get more complex
and related to football, although it will all be
related to football and life in general. I will keep
your score while you train. Obviously, your
overall performance score will increase or
decrease depending on your accurate use of NESy.
Let us begin, Grasshopper. (Your Sport
Psychologist is obviously old and watched too
much TV in his youth)

21. 3 Phases of NeuroTraining
There will be 3 phases to your training:
1.
2.
3.
Basic Training: you will learn the names and
functions of the structures of the brain
Timed Training: you will repeat the
essentials of basic training but you will need
to accomplish each task within a set time.
Sequential Training: you will need to
accomplish a sequence of tasks.
You will have the opportunity to return to
any of the training sessions before it’s time
for the Big Game.
21
22. Let’s Begin Basic NeuroTraining
Remember your job will be to
1. Read the task posed to you
2. Find the correct brain structure
3. Stimulate that brain structure by
using NESy’s electrostimulator. This
will Train Your Brain.
4. You have 3 Goals. If you haven’t
already learned them:
a. You are to learn the names
b. and locations of the brain
structures
c. You are to learn the function the
brain structures serve

23. Neurotraining: An Example of a
Basic Training Task
• Description of 1st Task:
– Stimulate the correct brain structure so that you can see
my office.
– Correct Response: Student gets to the Outer Layer of the
brain, rolls over the back of the brain, it outlines and labels
it the Occipital lobe and the student clicks any where in
the area.
– The conscious portion of NESy’s display shows a picture of
the office.
– 1 point is added to the student’s score. If the student clicks
on any other brain structure, he/she looses a point.

31. NeuroTraining: Timed Training
The next phase of your NeuroTraining, if you
chose to accept it, is designed to hone your
skills and knowledge. It is called Timed
Training.
You will perform the same kind of tasks you
completed in Basic Training but the specific
tasks posed will be different and each task
will be timed. You must complete the task
within the time provided. If you don’t
complete the task in time, you will lose a
point but then be allowed to repeat the task.
Only your first attempt will act toward your
score. If you finish the task with time to
spare, you will earn bonus points. Try to get
the highest score possible. Good luck!

The 3rd and final stage of your Neurotraining will help
you (i.e., your brain) put it all together. I will give you
a sequence of tasks, one at a time. You will need to
stimulate the correct brain structure for each task. You
will need to complete the sequence of tasks without
making a single error to move forward in your
training.
You will earn points for each individual correct brain
stimulation and extra points for stimulating the brain
structures in the correct sequence. Further, there is not
a time limit to complete the sequence but the faster
you complete it, the more points you earn. I’ll start
you with something simple and work our way up to
something more complex. Good Luck & I Know You
Can Do It!

If the student clicks anywhere on the slides, he/she should advance to the next slide.
ALL slides that have the Sport Psychologist office in the background are for the STUDENT experience.
ALL slides with the WHITE background are for the PROGRAMER.
It would be great if the student saw a straight on shot of the seat with the dual monitor to the side.
When they sit down, it would show them sitting in the seat and the monitors would swing in front of him/her and the helmet would lower onto his/her head.
During the following slides 6-13:
The ability to roll over and have the outline of the brain structures along with a label should work at this point.
The stimulation of the brain structure and its results should not work.
Programmer Slide:
I’m not suggesting an overall layout for the components nor was I in the previous slides. I thought it best to leave that up to you. Here are the individual components.
NESy’s helmet:
As shown, I’d like the student’s football avatar placed within NESy’s helmet. That image can be displayed smaller than the others because the student is going to have to manipulate the others and view their contents. The helmet image is just to give context.
Images of Brain:
I’d like a 3-D image of the brain within the outline of the student’s football avatar’s head. The first 2 images of the brain are examples, the 2nd is a more preferred depiction. The third has the structures but is not within the head. The total image (brain within head) needs to be rotatable. If it helps, it does not have to be viewed from behind. It only needs to be viewed directly from the right-side and then rotatable until directly viewed from the left-side. On the next 4 slides I’ve attempted to highlight and name each portion of the brain that are associated with the 3 different views of the brain (from Outer view to deepest view).
Text Area
NESy will also need a text area where the instructions for the entire lab would appear. The task for the student to perform will also need to be presented within this area. On tasks where the student’s score is affected by how quickly he/she responds, a clock counting down in seconds (in increments of 1/10 sec) could be displayed in this area. Lastly, the student’s accumulating score could be presented at the bottom of this area.
Controllers for Brain Imager:
I don’t care what the buttons look like, just their functions are important. Zoom in to look at deeper structure views, Zoom out to look at outer structure views, turn right and left are self explanatory.
Consciousness & Body Images:
I chose this binocular view to represent consciousness though I’m open. It needs to represent thoughts (memories, decisions, etc.) and sensations (visual, auditory, touch, etc.). A text will probably need to accompany the representation so that the imagery doesn’t have to be self explanatory.
Obviously the body of the football player is to be depicted. Its legs, arms, & fingers need to be able to move independently depending on the brain area stimulated. Further the right arm needs to be able to move without the left moving, etc.
ElectroStimulator:
The student’s cursor needs to look something like the electrostimulator depicted. When the student clicks, an electric spark needs to come out of the electrode’s end. We could add in a second stimulator that allows the student to stimulate the same structure on both sides of the brain simultaneously. The student would need to switch stimulators depending on the task. It’s an added complexity but it would help greatly. Please let me know if it is doable, I’ll need to change a few of the task descriptions and responses of consciousness/body.
Programmer Slide:
When a student rolls over a brain area, an outline of that area will be displayed and
if the task is to stimulate the structure with [blank] function, a label of the structure’s name will also appear.
OR if the task is to stimulate the structure with [blank] name, then only the outline should appear of the area. When this type of task is posed, ALL labels of the structures should be turned off.
In this slide each of the brain structures is highlighted and labeled appropriately.
Programmer Slide:
When a student rolls over a brain area, an outline of that area will be displayed.
If the student double clicks the Motor Cortex or Somatosensory cortex, the appropriate image to the right should replace the brain image.
When a student rolls over a specific area of the Motor cortex, an outline of that cortical area will be displayed. Further the representation of the body structure associated with that portion of the cortex will now appear. For example, if the student rolls over the inner most portion of the Motor cortex, the foot would appear around the outside of the cortex.
The same goes for the Somatosensory cortex.
Notice that the images on the right for the Motor and Somatosensory cortices do not contain the same content. Also if the student was viewing the right side (hemisphere) of the brain, both images would need to be horizontally flipped.
Programmer Slide:
The right amygdala and left amygdala are the almond shaped red structures.
The entire area in purple is the hippocampus on each side of the brain.
The right thalamus and left thalamus are the oval most central structures depicted in tan.
The hypothalamus is just in front of and below the Thalamus.
Programmer Slide:
These first 2 are illustrated to provide reference. They would not be active at this level.:
The right thalamus and left thalamus are the oval most central structures depicted in tan.
The hypothalamus is just in front of and below the Thalamus.
The Reticular Formation is the orange area in the center of the brainstem.
The Cerebellum is the purple “little brain” area hanging off the back of the brainstem.
The Medulla is the bump in the brainstem just above where the spinal cord begins and just below the lavender area.
Again, please present the above text a bit at a time to the student.
Students will be posed with one of two types of tasks: They will be given
A brain function (e.g., pull up a memory). The student will need to find and stimulate the correct brain structure. In this case, when the student rolls over a structure, the structure will be highlighted and properly labeled. Labeling of brain structures will be available for all structures whether they are the correct or incorrect structure to stimulate.
The name of a brain structure. The student again needs to find and stimulate that structure. In contrast to the other task, when the student rolls over ANY brain structure, the structure will only be highlighted. Labeling of ALL brain structures will need to be turned off.
Use the NESy display but vary the text depending on the task posed. The following slides will describe the tasks the student is posed with. They are NOT presented in the order of presentation. Instead, it would be great if a random order is presented each time the student attempts the training.

This is an example of the general idea:
The task is posed in the text area
The student navigates the brain moving to the correct depth and view.
The student rolls over to see the area and label of the Occipital lobe.
The student then stimulates the area and a picture of the sport psychologist’s office appears in consciousness.
1 point is added to the student’s overall score. If the student is incorrect, he/she loses a point.
In NESy’s text display area:
For a correct response, NESy will randomly chose from a number of options to provide feedback. “Fantastic!”, “Well Done!,” “Excellent,” Way to Go!”, “Keep up the Great Work!,” “Your Mom would be Proud of You,” “The Noble prize is Waiting”
For an incorrect response, NESy will randomly chose from “Better Luck Next Time,” “Unlucky,” “I Know You Can Do It,” “Don’t Give Up,” “Life has its Ups and Downs,” Practice Makes Perfect”
Programmer Slide:
Reminder: Use the NESy display but vary the text depending on the task posed. The following slides will describe the tasks the student is posed with.

Timed Training takes them to the randomly first timed task.
The Big Game button would only appear after the student completed all of the Training (got to slide 45) and it would take the student to Slide 45
Again, please present the above text a bit at a time to the student.
Just as with Basic Training, students will be posed with one of two types of tasks: They will be given
A brain function (e.g., pull up a memory). The student will need to find and stimulate the correct brain structure. In this case, when the student rolls over a structure, the structure will be highlighted and properly labeled. Labeling of brain structures will be available for all structures whether they are the correct or incorrect structure to stimulate.
The name of a brain structure. The student again needs to find and stimulate that structure. In contrast to the other task, when the student rolls over ANY brain structure, the structure will only be highlighted. Labeling of ALL brain structures will need to be turned off.
You can see a timer as been added to NESy’s display. It should count down in 10ths of seconds.
The Timed Training will be conducted in the same way as the Basic Training. The primary difference is that the students will be required to complete the task posed within a certain number of seconds. I don’t know how long to make it since I don’t know exactly how user friendly NESy will be. I would guess that the count down time should be within the 15 to 30 second range. The student will need to complete the task within the allotted time. If he does not, he will be told “Time has Run Out. You can repeat the task or move on to the next task. Your overall score will not be affected with further attempts.” His/her score would lose a point as a result of the 1st attempt. If the student stimulates the correct area, he/she will earn 1 point. Further, if the student completes the task in less time than allotted, he/she will be awarded extra points. For instance, if the allotted time is 15 seconds: if completed between 10-13 sec then .5 pts, 5-9 sec then 1 pt, 1-4 sec then 2 pts.
In NESy’s text display area use the same feedback as provided during Basic Training. Here it is again:
For a correct response, NESy will randomly chose from a number of options to provide feedback. “Fantastic!”, “Well Done!,” “Excellent,” Way to Go!”, “Keep up the Great Work!,” “Your Mom would be Proud of You,” “The Noble prize is Waiting”
For an incorrect response, NESy will randomly chose from “Better Luck Next Time,” “Unlucky,” “I Know You Can Do It,” “Don’t Give Up,” “Life has its Ups and Downs,” Practice Makes Perfect”
The following slides will describe the tasks the student is posed with. They are NOT presented in the order of presentation. Instead, it would be great if a random order is presented each time the student attempts the training.
The first set of slides are Function slides, where both the area and name labels are activated upon rollover.
The second set of slides are Structure slides, where only the area is activated upon rollover for all structures.
Programmer Slide:

The name of a brain structure. The student again needs to find and stimulate that structure. In contrast to the other task, when the student rolls over ANY brain structure, the structure will only be highlighted. Labeling of ALL brain structures will need to be turned off.
These are the Brain Structure Slides
Programmer Slide:
Programmer Slide:
Train Again takes the student to Slide 31
Sequential Training takes them to the randomly first timed task.
The Big Game button would only appear after the student completed all of the Training (got to slide 45) and it would take the student to Slide 45
For Sequential Training:
I will have them click on the structures in the correct order to complete a more complex task therefore requiring the sequential stimulation of appropriate brain structures.
They will earn 1 point for each individual correct brain stimulation and 2 extra points for stimulating the brain structures in the correct sequence. Further, the faster they complete the sequence, the more points they earn. The same rules for point allocation apply as in the Timed Training.
Again, please present the above text a bit at a time to the student.
At the completion of a sequence use the same feedback as before. Here it is again:
If the student is completes the sequence without an error, NESy will randomly chose from a number of options to provide feedback. “Fantastic!”, “Well Done!,” “Excellent,” Way to Go!”, “Keep up the Great Work!,” “Your Mom would be Proud of You,” “The Noble prize is Waiting”
If the student makes a mistake, NESy will randomly chose from “Better Luck Next Time,” “Unlucky,” “I Know You Can Do It,” “Don’t Give Up,” “Life has its Ups and Downs,” Practice Makes Perfect”
The following slides will describe the tasks the student is posed with. They are NOT presented in the order of presentation. Instead, it would be great if a random order is presented each time the student attempts the training.

With completion of the training, the football player will get a break down of his/her performance (Basic Training, Timed Training, Sequential Training). They will then be given the the options provided. If they redo a training session, their score for that redo will replace their previous score when they return to this slide again.
With the student’s completion of the training, a “Big Game” button will need to be added to particular slides (Slides 30 & 40) allowing the student to return to this Completion slide. I’ve already placed a button there but faded.
Basic Training takes the student to Slide 22
Timed Training takes the student to Slide 31
Sequential Training takes the student to Slide 41
The Big Game takes the student to the next slide
For Sequential Training:
I will have them click on the structures in the correct order to complete a more complex task therefore requiring the sequential stimulation of appropriate brain structures.
They will earn 1 point for each individual correct brain stimulation and 2 extra points for stimulating the brain structures in the correct sequence. Further, the faster they complete the sequence, the more points they earn. The same rules for point allocation apply as in the Timed Training.

Programmer Slide:
For the Big Game:
A rollover Only outlines the brain structure, it does NOT label it.
No changes will occur in Consciousness and the Body when the student stimulates the structure.
The presentation order of tasks should be randomly determined.
There should be no feedback provided with each student choice.
With each correct stimulation, the student earns 1 point.

Programmer Slide:
With completion of the Big Game, the football player will get his/her performance, the number correct out of 10.
Feedback will be provided given the student’s score:
If 100%, then “The Noble prize is Waiting”
If 90%, then “Your Mom would be Proud of You”
If 80%, then “Keep up the Great Work!”
If 70%, then ”Practice Makes Perfect”
If 60%, then “I Know You Can Do It”
If 50% or less, then “Don’t Give Up”
