Meta-analysis that found significant effects of neurofeedback on reaction time and decision-making in athletes, positioning it as a promising tool within neurocognitive training applied to performance.

Systematic review describing EEG neurofeedback as a promising technique for improving performance through self-regulation of neural activity, though it notes that results are not yet fully consistent across studies.

This systematic review updates neurofeedback methods and outcomes in sports settings and shows a field that keeps growing, with applications to attention, self-regulation and performance.

Review explaining why functions such as attention, working memory and decision-making are essential in sport, and arguing that cognitive training can play an important role when it is integrated specifically into the competitive context.

Review of cognitive-motor dual-task training examining whether combining mental and motor demands produces greater improvements in athletes' cognition and motor performance.

Study that examined computerized cognitive training with low motor demand and its relationship with performance improvements in professional baseball, providing a direct precedent for digital platforms of applied brain training.

Recent systematic review summarizing how visual skills influence motor response, coordination and performance across different disciplines, and pointing to potential benefits in daily life and in prevention.

This review maps 667 articles published between 1976 and 2023 and confirms that vision is a central component of performance across multiple sports and competitive levels.

Critical review that finds promising evidence linking visual skills, visual training and sports performance, while also warning that better methodological designs are needed to confirm several of these effects.

This paper reviews assessments commonly used in sports vision and helps clarify what to measure according to the visual demands of each discipline — very useful for programs that combine testing and training.

Systematic review dedicated to vision training in athletes, focused on whether improving sport-specific visual skills translates into better competitive performance.

The review shows a positive relationship between visual attention and executive functions such as inhibition, flexibility and updating, reinforcing their role in sports performance.

Critical review explaining why executive functions became a central topic in sport science, while also cautioning that no excessive claims should be made without stronger methodological grounding.

Review analyzing whether inhibition, working memory and cognitive flexibility can predict decision-making in sport — a strong argument for specific neurocognitive training.

This article reviews the cortical processes associated with faster visuomotor reactions and shows that an athlete's superior performance also depends on perceptual and neural adaptations.

Classic meta-analysis that found substantial quiet eye effects, both in distinguishing experts from novices and in improving performance when this visual strategy is trained.

Systematic review explaining how the quiet eye is linked to better performance in aiming and motor control tasks, helping to understand the relationship between perception and execution.

Review showing that the quiet eye appears to distinguish expert from novice performance and may be an important component of perceptual-cognitive expertise.

Study showing that pressure conditions alter both quiet eye and performance, reinforcing the need to train gaze and attention in demanding scenarios.

In this study, quiet eye training improved golf putting in pressure situations and reduced state anxiety, showing practical value beyond technique alone.

The review reports improvements in visual and visuomotor function, reaction time, eye-hand coordination, perception, short-term memory and anticipatory timing, while noting that standardized protocols are still lacking.

This meta-analysis found a small to moderate positive effect of stroboscopic training on sport-specific performance, which makes it a promising tool when it is properly integrated into the training process.

Review and meta-analysis assessing the impact of stroboscopic training on cognitive function and athletic performance across different populations, consolidating it as one of the most interesting modalities in the area.

Study in elite curling athletes that examined whether four weeks of stroboscopic vision training improved temporal judgment and sport-specific execution variables.

Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showing how virtual reality is being used to improve performance in tasks where perception, anticipation and action must be integrated rapidly.

Article reviewing brain endurance training as a method for improving tolerance to mental fatigue and reducing its impact on physical and cognitive performance.
