Pre-Performance Routine Training Tool Using Simple Brain-Wave Sensor

This paper describes a pre-performance routine (PPR) training tool, which uses a simple brain-wave sensor. Our tool shows us the current status of concentration and notifies us of the concentration-stabilizing phenomenon on a wearable computer or a tablet computer. PPRs entail the performance of determined motions before an action and are often executed in sports for the purpose of removing stress or raising concentration. The concentration-stabilizing phenomenon was discovered by our previous research and it determined that the phenomenon appears more conspicuous in the case of experts and PPRs. We optimized the procedure for notification such that the concentration-stabilizing phenomenon could be determined without disturbing the subject's concentration. Finally, we verified the effectiveness of our PPR training tool by performing an experimental dart game.
