“In military occupations […], skills such as situational awareness and quick, accurate decision making are of great importance, because in some situations, lives may depend on them.”
From Professor Faubert, teacher at the University of Montreal, illustrates how quick decision-making can have a real impact on ourselves and others.
To be the most effective possible under critical conditions fully adapted to military, special forces and police organizations. Everyone must be able to have optimal situational awareness in order to make the best possible decisions in environments where the pressure can be overwhelming.
“ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE”
This motto attributed to the musketeers is quite transparent: each must be able to rely on the other. Therefore, the performance must not only be optimal, but also safe and non-random. In the military field, more than anywhere else, there is no room for error.
To face this constant challenge, our light pod solution has been developed to stimulate various cognitive abilities, such as attention, perception, reasoning, decision-making, coordination and reactivity.
The ultimate goal is to provide combat forces with exceptional visual and motor skills.
The versatility of our solution will be adapted to measure and track the characteristics required for both physically demanding tasks and those requiring optimal concentration.
Thus, it will be necessary to select the programs corresponding to the desired work objective:
Our light studs can also be attached to specific walls or equipment, along a course, to play on the ability of people in training to react to different light stimuli.
Sensors will record data in real time, allowing detailed passage times between obstacles.
Moreover, all this data can be saved and associated with specific profiles.
Objective: to measure, in a fine and individual way, the evolution over time and training!
Another factor that can totally impact decision-making is stress.
Indeed, tactical/defense-oriented professions subject individuals to extreme environments. This sometimes implies the possibility of risking one’s life and giving death.
However, a stressed person will see his cognitive performance deteriorate. In some parts of the central nervous system, there will be a circuit change.
Reduced attention and working memory, mental flexibility and less optimal decision-making… This functional change can have significant impacts.
In addition, our training specifically designed to increase attention, working memory and mental flexibility, are ideal for this type of tactical and defensive jobs, to compensate for the reactions that the body creates in case of repeated stress
