MASTERMIND PUBLIC SERVICE

Success in the field requires a strong, focused brain. The efficiency with which your brain and eyes process, react to, and retain information can greatly influence your enjoyment and success in your career. Mastermind offers public service personnel across all job types and levels access to comprehensive cognitive performance training through a dynamic, engaging, and fun program. Achieve peak performance in the field and in life by developing the foundational skills necessary to improve focus, reaction time, problem-solving, and overall effectiveness, and productivity.

In military operations, split-second decisions can have life-or-death consequences, making sharp cognitive skills essential for success. For example, soldiers must quickly assess threats, anticipate enemy movements, and execute tactical maneuvers under extreme pressure. Cognitive training also helps soldiers maintain focus and composure during combat situations, enabling them to adapt to rapidly changing scenarios and make sound decisions under stress. Additionally, cognitive skills are vital for strategic planning, intelligence analysis, and effective communication among military units. By incorporating cognitive training into military training programs, soldiers can improve their mental agility, enhance their ability to respond to dynamic situations, and ultimately increase mission success and troop safety.

In high-stress first responder environments such as firefighting, law enforcement, and emergency medical services, split-second decisions can be the difference between life and death. For example, firefighters must assess rapidly changing fire conditions, anticipate structural hazards, and coordinate rescue efforts in hazardous environments. Similarly, police officers rely on cognitive skills to assess threats, de-escalate volatile situations, and make decisions about the use of force. Additionally, emergency medical technicians need sharp cognitive abilities to diagnose medical conditions, prioritize treatment interventions, and communicate effectively with patients and medical personnel. By engaging in cognitive training exercises, first responders can improve their mental acuity, enhance their situational awareness, and ultimately save lives in critical situations.

The Mastermind program is designed to help individuals of all ages and skill levels achieve their goals and improve. Our program focuses on enhancing brain functions critical for intake of visual and auditory input, quick processing, and fast physical reactions. Additionally, the program includes a comprehensive range of eye movement and strengthening exercises to improve eye control, making activities like focusing and reading more efficient. These exercises help prevent eye fatigue, promote better eye coordination, and enhance visual processing speed.

Mastermind has developed its training platform using both virtual reality and tablet delivery formats.

The virtual reality option (Oculus 2, 3, and Pro) provides a fully immersive 360-degree experience. The program includes 39 distinct training games, 5 eye movement protocols, initial and ongoing assessment testing, and extensive onboarding and usage tutorials. Designed in a gamified format, our VR training is engaging and enjoyable, simulating the experience of playing a beneficial video game. The VR platform offers extensive features, depth, and functionality, delivering a comprehensive brain and body training experience.

The tablet version (Apple iPad and Android) makes the power of cognitive and eye movement training flexible and accessible to those on the go or in various locations, without the need for VR equipment or extensive space. This version offers many of the same features as the VR program, minus the 360-degree immersion and intensive physical movement, but still focuses on the same cognitive and eye movement skills essential for performance improvement.

The Mastermind program helps public service personnel better focus, learn, and execute tasks on the job, allowing them to perform at their best and drive improved productivity and results. The skills developed through the training also extend beyond the job, benefiting areas such as sports and education. In roles with little room for error, the advantages of cognitive training can be a gamechanger.
