Our Process/Technology/Systems
What are Sensory motor Skills?
Sensory motor skills (also known as sensorimotor skills) are what we use to take in information about the world through our senses and to develop our body's movement, or motor, response to that information (if we need to jump out of the way of a speeding tricycle that we see headed our way, for instance). When we improve our sensorimotor skills, our brain processes stimuli faster, leading to better performance in sport. Below are the tools we use to train and enhance our sensorimotor skills.
Sensory Station
Advanced Mentality utilizes a combination of technology from our partners at Senaptec and personalized training to enhance your sensorimotor skills. The Senaptec Sensory Station is our core machine that allows us to;
Assess: Determine your strengths and opportunities to improve sensory performance
Plan: Come up with a personalized plan of action to improve your weaknesses
Improve: Utilize the Sensory Station modules and other personalized training techniques to improve your sensory performance
Track: The Senaptec Sensory Station keeps detailed reports to show your growth and improvement within your sensory performance
By focusing on your sensorimotor skills, we are able to improve your eye hand coordination, brain processing speed, balance, reaction time, and much more. Due to the cloud-based software provided by Senaptec, we are able to see where you compare to thousands of other global users while also allowing us to measure and track your results. All of these sensorimotor skills directly translate to your performance in sport.
The most important advantage that the Senaptec Sensory Station gives us, is that we are able to quantitatively measure and track improvement of your sensorimotor skills so the client is always aware of where they stand and the improvements they are making.

Strobe and Quad Strobe eyewear
At Advanced Mentality, stroboscopic training is a major part of our sensorimotor skill enhancement. The Senaptec Strobe and Quad Strobe Eyewear are designed to improve movement, balance, and reaction time, by removing visual information so the individual can process visual stimuli more quickly. The Senaptec Strobe Eyewear works its magic through a flickering effect that intermittently blocks the user’s vision. In alternating between clear and blocked vision, one’s brain is forced to fill in the gaps and anticipate movement. This heightened sensitivity instantly sharpens and streamlines vision, improving one’s eye-hand coordination, movement, balance and reaction time.
The Quad Strobe Eyewear has lenses divided into four segments allowing us to take our stroboscopic training to the next level by focusing in on exactly which part of your vision we take away and at what times.
