SUMMARY:Understanding the role of perceptual-cognitive capacities in differ
 ent populations with the NeuroTracker approach
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the role of perceptual-cognitive capacities in di
 fferent populations with the NeuroTracker approach: From development to ag
 ing and elite performers\nPr. Jocelyn FAUBERT (Directeur du Laboratoire de
  Psychophysique et de Perception Visuelle\, Directeur de la Chaire CRSNG-E
 SSILOR Int Canada\, Université de Montréal). faubertlab.com\n\n&nbsp\;\
 n\n&nbsp\;\n\nAbstract/Résumé\n\nA still largely unresolved question is 
 to what extent perceptual-cognitive abilities of different populations pla
 y a role in their successful decision-making in real life contexts. Indivi
 duals often have to process complex dynamic visual scenes and make decisio
 ns based on their situational awareness and prior knowledge. We propose th
 at decision-making abilities exhibited by individuals in this context depe
 nd in part on some perceptual-cognitive capacities merged with specific kn
 owledge of the world dynamics. The NeuroTracker system was initially desig
 ned to isolate fundamental properties that are present while processing dy
 namic visual scenes while being void of specific context. The goal was to 
 develop a general tool that could assess individual differences in the per
 ceptual-cognitive capacities required for processing dynamic visual scenes
  and to determine whether it is possible to improve these abilities by tra
 ining and show transfer to relevant skills. The research to date demonstra
 tes that: 1) It is possible to measure individual differences on this abil
 ity for a variety of populations\; 2) The level of performance such as spo
 rts-related decision making corresponds with the learning rate on this tas
 k\; 3) The initial measures can be predictive of decision making metrics\;
  4) The brain is plastic to this process and training on this system can s
 how transfer on socially relevant performance measures 5) Training on this
  task improves relevant brain function as measured by cognitive metrics an
 d brain imaging. In this talk I will explain the principles\, review the r
 elevant studies done in different populations with the NeuroTracker approa
 ch and discuss potential future avenues for research.
