Optimizing Sport Performance through Neurofeedback and Function-Specific Instruction: Dose–Response Effects, Training Response Profiles, and Stress-Related Generalization of Training Effects

RESEARCH QUESTION
How do training dose, individual response profiles, and function-specific instruction shape neurofeedback transfer under stress?
METHODS
EEG neurofeedback · Function-specific instruction · Dose–response modelling · Stress-transfer testing
VALUE IN PRACTICE
Builds an individualised, evidence-based framework for deciding who benefits, how much training is needed, and whether the adaptation remains useful under pressure.
Project scope

Investigates dose–response effects, individual training-response profiles, and whether EEG neurofeedback adaptations generalize to performance under stress.

From Brain to Movement: Neural Efficiency, Movement Readiness, and Field Translation in High-Performance Athletes

RESEARCH QUESTION
How can neural efficiency and movement readiness become interpretable indices—and then become useful training tools?
METHODS
EEG · HRV · Shooting & archery · Neurofeedback transfer
VALUE IN PRACTICE
Connects laboratory measures with athlete and coach decisions by testing whether neural targets retain meaning in sport-specific practice.
Project scope

A two-year EEG and HRV programme building neural-efficiency and readiness indices, then testing neurofeedback transfer in shooting and archery.
