i-BrainTech

Day 1 of partnering with i-BrainTech 🤩 Still working out the kinks and familiarizing myself to their technology, but I can't express how excited I am to start working with them! A big thank you to Daniel Esses, Ofir Toker, Adam Codron (haven't forgotten about you!), and Dor Adar for the time and effort to educate me on this technology, to allow me to demonstrate it in person, and to find a way for us to partner up and get this into my hands! For anyone unfamiliar with i-BrainTech, check out their website here: https://www.i-brain.tech/ 🧠

Thrilled to be featured in The TWIST Report! 🙌 A huge thank you to Benji Sloan, MA, ATC for capturing the essence of what we’re building at i-BrainTech.

CD Leganés' return to La Liga shows their relentless mentality and commitment to player development. We’re proud to support their rehab team, empowering injured players in their Return to Play process. ⚽🙌 Club Deportivo Leganés

Honored to have participated in the Benfica Health and Performance Summit! Our CEO, Dr. Konstantin Sonkin, shared insights from his 15 years of research on the brain’s role in controlling movement. The key takeaway? Neurofeedback is a game-changer for both athlete recovery and performance enhancement. A special shout-out to our amazing partners at Sport Lisboa e Benfica, João Viana, Pedro Morgado, Cristina Tavares Graça, Tatiana Ferreira and Ana David, for the opportunity to collaborate and share our insights. We discussed the importance of cognitive training and how it translates to on-field performance. For effective transfer, cognitive training must be: 1️⃣ Context-specific: Replicating real game scenarios is crucial. 2️⃣ Repetitive: Consistency creates automatic, reliable responses. 3️⃣ Feedback-driven: Immediate feedback refines decision-making. 🧠 This drives neural plasticity—leading to physical changes in the brain that enhance key cognitive functions. Welcome to the future of athletic performance! 🚀

Proud to join forces with innovative clubs like Sport Lisboa e Benfica, who recognize the transformative impact of Neurofeedback on athlete recovery. Even after full physical rehabilitation, athletes face challenges like delayed reactions, coordination issues, and a lack of focus. These difficulties, often caused by neuromuscular inhibition, can hinder their return to performance. Our motor visualization training is designed to enhance neuromuscular activity and refine motor skills. This targeted approach helps athletes make a strong return to their pre-injury performance levels. 💪

We're excited to announce our partnership with the powerhouse Florida State University Women’s Soccer team! With a legacy of top rankings and championship victories, they embody excellence in women’s sports. Together, we're committed to keeping them at the top and empowering the next generation of female athletes. Let’s go, Noles! 🔴⚽ #OneTribe

Adolescence is crucial for brain development 🧠 During these years, the brain's growth is rapid and dynamic. This adaptability helps kids master new skills faster than adults—like learning a new language. That's why we prioritize youth athletes. Partnering with top academies globally, we develop tactical skills and mental resilience. Our training modules enhance: ✅ Game awareness ✅ Motor skills ✅ Decision-making under pressure 📸 Witness the future: youth athletes training their minds, while teammates watch with excitement.

From Injury to High Performance: The Brain’s Role in ACL Recovery In a recent study, Dustin Grooms and his team highlighted the critical role of the brain in ACL rehabilitation. Preventing further injury is a top concern for athletes and clinicians after an ACL injury. Traditional return-to-sport (RTS) tests focus on muscle strength and knee function, but early clearance can often lead to reinjury. Why? These tests may overlook a crucial factor: neurocognitive reliance. What is Neurocognitive Reliance? After ACL reconstruction (ACLR), the brain compensates for knee impairments by increasing its involvement in movement control. This neurocognitive reliance means athletes have to think more about movements that were previously automatic. The central nervous system adjusts, creating new ways to compensate for the injury, often masking underlying issues. Signs of Neurocognitive Reliance Athletes recovering from ACLR often exhibit signs of neurocognitive reliance, such as: - Elevated Attention to Movements: Movements that were once automatic require conscious effort and focus. - Increased Visual-Cognitive Activity: Athletes rely more on visual feedback and cognitive processes to maintain knee stability. i-BrainTech's Perspective: As neuroscientists and pioneers of sport-specific neuro-technology, we understand the vital role of the brain in the rehabilitation process. Consistent with Grooms’ research findings, we see a need to strengthen motor regions of the brain to reduce neurocognitive reliance. Motor visualization, which activates the brain similarly to physical actions, is one effective technique. By using data-driven visualization, it is possible to strengthen motor regions without physical load, making actions more automatic and less mentally demanding. Future Outlook The progression of the rehabilitation industry to account for neural processes marks a pivotal moment in sports medicine. By understanding the brain’s role in recovery and leveraging cutting-edge neuro-technology, interdisciplinary scientists are setting a new standard for ACL recovery and beyond. What is your opinion on the brain’s role in ACL rehabilitation?

Yesterday was an incredible day at Maccabi Tel Aviv FC summer camp, where we had the privilege of training 50 young footballers! 🤩 Witnessing these future stars confidently put on their EEG brain caps and immerse themselves in our neurofeedback training was truly inspiring. This is the future we envision—youth athletes enjoying and benefiting from advanced brain training. Keep up the fantastic work, boys! Here's to a future of smarter, stronger players 🧠💪

We're thrilled to announce that our CEO, Konstantin Sonkin, was featured in Cyprus’s Gold Magazine! 🎉 This leading business magazine features key players in the local economy. In the article, Konstantin explores the importance of specificity in brain-training technology. He highlights that our sport training platform aims to enhance the prerequisites for decision-making, such as working memory, pattern recognition, and attention, rather than general intelligence. He argues that decision-making is not a single cognitive phenomenon but a complex, multifaceted process. Looking ahead, Konstantin offers a thought-provoking perspective: “AI will be smarter than us in a year or two. If we don’t focus on our own development, we’ll fall far behind our creations, which will continue to evolve. I believe we must invest in neuroscience and human cognitive development with the same, if not greater, resources as we do in AI development.” He further emphasizes our mission at i-BrainTech: “This is the ultimate goal of human progress and existence and i-BrainTech’s mission is to influence human evolution, to bring brain information and development to the forefront, and perhaps even to place it at the centre of how we cultivate the next generations.” Join us in shaping the future! 🌟🚀 Link to full Magazine - https://lnkd.in/drVZ7nEJ Thank you Adonis Adoni for the insightful piece!
