Understanding and Shaping the Athlete's Brain—NTT Sports Brain Science Project—

摘要

In sports, a variety of brain functions hold the key to winning, such as grasping current conditions, strategizing against one's opponent, and making instantaneous decisions under pressure. Most of these functions, however, are implicit brain functions that the athlete is not even aware of. The NTT Sports Brain Science project was established in January 2017 to conduct research with the aim of understanding superior implicit brain functions in top athletes, identifying the factors in winning, and improving theperformance of athletes based on research findings.
