Closed-Loop Training

Repeated engagement with a targeted closed-loop task is intended to strengthen sustained top-down attention. Closed-loop attention training aims for transfer beyond the game to attention tests and everyday focus. Closed-loop training measures performance or physiology and adapts the task or environment in response. Attention training is proposed to work by targeting neural operations, measuring performance continuously, and keeping challenge near the user's capacity. Attention training is described as underused compared with other forms of systematic health training.
