| Pro athletes’ brains work better than ours — at least when it comes to keeping their eyes on the ball (or puck) |
A study by Professor Jocelyn Faubert of the University of Montreal’s School of Optometry has found that professional athletes can track fast moving objects better than even elite amateur athletes, and at a much superior rate to non-athlete university students. |

| Brain Rooney… he thinks quicker than uni students |
Scientists found that Rooney and his Manchester United team-mates possess faster and more accurate minds than academics. During a series of tests at the club’s training ground, players had to track four fast-moving 3D “tennis balls” on a screen — while ignoring near-identical decoys. |

| Le cerveau des sportifs d'élite lance et compte |
«Même si le contexte n'avait rien à voir avec quelque sport que ce soit, nous avons constaté que les athlètes professionnels étaient en mesure de traiter les scènes visuelles beaucoup mieux que les athlètes amateurs, qui à leur tour ont mieux réussi que les étudiants. [...] Il semblerait que les athlètes soient en mesure de concentrer avec beaucoup d'acuité leur attention afin d'améliorer leurs capacités d'apprentissage, ce qui constitue la clé de leurs aptitudes.» Pr Jocelyn Faubert |

| Athletes' Minds Excel at Motion Tracking |
To probe the mystery, Faubert and colleagues developed a technique for assessing and improving people's ability to process an action scene. They tested 102 professional athletes in a complex 3D motion-tracking task, including 51 English Premier League soccer players, 21 National Hockey League players and 30 French Top 14 Rugby League players. They also tested 173 elite amateur athletes, including 136 college basketball players from the NCAA and 37 individuals from a European Olympic training center, as well as 33 non-athlete university students. |

Il y a souvent que très peu de différence entre la victoire et la défaite, et la compétition de plus en plus féroce entre les équipes. Les Canucks de Vancouver doivent une fière chandelle à CogniSens Athletics, une PME basée à Montréal, pour leurs récents succès. Créée en 2009, cette entreprise a conçu un exercice de perception cognitive destiné à améliorer les réflexes et la vision du jeu des athlètes. On en parle avec le président de la PME Jean Castonguay et avec Jocelyn Faubert, le responsable de la recherche scientifique. |
