Скачать Focus Builder для ПК

1. The “Focus Builder” app contains a variety of exercises which challenge users to voluntarily move their eyes in various patterns, speeds and directions, which have been proven to activate specific parts of the brain depending on which eye movement is performed.

2. Patients diagnosed with various neurological and/or psychiatric disorders that affect the frontal lobes or basal ganglia find it difficult to suppress the automatic pro-saccade, revealing a deficit in top-down inhibition.

3. 1.Pursuits (slow eye movements): Smooth pursuit eye movements allow the eyes to closely follow a moving object.

4. Initiated cortically by the frontal eye fields (FEF), or subcortically by the superior colliculus, saccades serve as a mechanism for fixation, rapid eye movement, and the fast phase of optokinetic nystagmus.

5. In this task, participants must suppress the reflexive urge to look at a visual target that appears suddenly in the peripheral visual field and must instead look away from the target in the opposite direction.

6. The areas of the brain that are activated by these eye movements are too numerous to list, but to name a few, I have listed some of the functions that can improve with these eye exercises.

7. 2.Saccades (fast eye movements): Saccades are quick, simultaneous movements of both eyes in the same direction.

8. The pursuit of targets moving with velocities of greater than 30°/s tend to require catch-up saccades.

9. A crucial step involved in performing this task is the top-down inhibition of a reflexive, automatic saccade.

10. Eye movements are a very powerful way to exercise the brain and to create long-term change in the brain, known as plasticity.

11. For best results, patients should consult a Functional Neurologist to determine how to use this app according to their needs and obtain the most therapeutic value.
