Panel Discussion: Cognitive Training in the Real World

Cognitive training is everywhere right now across elite sports and the military.What is far less clear is what it actually looks like when applied in real world, high pressure environments, and how well current approaches are supported by science.In the first in a series of live discussions, Noah and his guests bring together applied and scientific perspectives on cognitive training, with an emphasis on implementation, evidence quality, and common misconceptions.Michael Rabasca, Director of Cognitive Performance for the LA Galaxy, shares how cognitive skills like focus, decision making, and resilience are trained and assessed inside a professional sports organization.Dr Tommy Wood, Associate Professor at the University of Washington with an MD and PhD in neuroscience, provides a scientific lens on mechanisms, limitations, and where the data is solid versus assumed.If you have ever considered incorporating cognitive training into your human performance programming, this conversation is not to be missed.
