1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:01,996 Marshak Savers program is a 2 00:00:01,996 --> 00:00:04,218 longitudinal neurocognitive performance 3 00:00:04,218 --> 00:00:06,440 in the ship . Sabers provides a service 4 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,496 member with a detailed assessment of 5 00:00:08,496 --> 00:00:10,051 brain function as well as a 6 00:00:10,051 --> 00:00:11,996 comprehensive intervention plan to 7 00:00:11,996 --> 00:00:14,051 optimize brain performance . Service 8 00:00:14,051 --> 00:00:15,996 members are first presented with a 9 00:00:15,996 --> 00:00:18,107 qualitative survey to assess how they 10 00:00:18,107 --> 00:00:18,020 perceive their own neurocognitive 11 00:00:18,020 --> 00:00:19,798 function . Their neurocognitive 12 00:00:19,798 --> 00:00:21,798 assessment tool is a computer based 13 00:00:21,798 --> 00:00:23,798 program that analyzes a spectrum of 14 00:00:23,798 --> 00:00:25,909 cognitive performance outputs such as 15 00:00:25,909 --> 00:00:28,242 processing speed , memory and attention . 16 00:00:28,242 --> 00:00:30,464 Q . E . E . G . Analyzes the electrical 17 00:00:30,464 --> 00:00:32,710 activity of the brain . A cap with 19 18 00:00:32,710 --> 00:00:34,877 electrodes is placed on the head and a 19 00:00:34,877 --> 00:00:37,043 special conductive gel is used to fill 20 00:00:37,043 --> 00:00:39,043 each electrode . Q . E . G measures 21 00:00:39,043 --> 00:00:41,154 brave waves at different sites to map 22 00:00:41,154 --> 00:00:43,266 brain function and identify potential 23 00:00:43,266 --> 00:00:45,950 residual concussive effects . The data 24 00:00:45,950 --> 00:00:48,061 are then transformed into a pictorial 25 00:00:48,061 --> 00:00:50,061 representation of brain activity in 26 00:00:50,061 --> 00:00:52,228 order to assess cognitive deficiency . 27 00:00:52,228 --> 00:00:54,450 The sabers data are then interpreted by 28 00:00:54,450 --> 00:00:56,617 a specialist provider and presented to 29 00:00:56,617 --> 00:00:58,839 the service member . The provider works 30 00:00:58,839 --> 00:00:58,370 with the service member to develop a 31 00:00:58,370 --> 00:01:00,426 performance improvement intervention 32 00:01:00,426 --> 00:01:02,648 plan . The performance plan may include 33 00:01:02,648 --> 00:01:04,703 biofeedback training , neurofeedback 34 00:01:04,703 --> 00:01:06,814 training or referral to other medical 35 00:01:06,814 --> 00:01:08,537 or human performance providers 36 00:01:08,537 --> 00:01:10,703 neurofeedback target specific areas of 37 00:01:10,703 --> 00:01:12,592 the brain by presenting real time 38 00:01:12,592 --> 00:01:14,814 feedback on brainwave activity based on 39 00:01:14,814 --> 00:01:16,870 operate conditioning principles . We 40 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:18,814 can train up or down certain brain 41 00:01:18,814 --> 00:01:20,814 waves frequencies to optimize brain 42 00:01:20,814 --> 00:01:22,814 performance , cognitive performance 43 00:01:22,814 --> 00:01:24,870 specialists use sabers data to drive 44 00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:27,092 actionable coaching interventions . The 45 00:01:27,092 --> 00:01:29,092 aim is to enhance awareness , track 46 00:01:29,092 --> 00:01:31,037 changes in regulatory behavior and 47 00:01:31,037 --> 00:01:31,030 improving operator's ability to gain 48 00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:33,252 and maintain advantages in volatile and 49 00:01:33,252 --> 00:01:35,363 unpredictable circumstances . Service 50 00:01:35,363 --> 00:01:37,474 members receive a sabers reassessment 51 00:01:37,474 --> 00:01:39,586 periodically to identify and document 52 00:01:39,586 --> 00:01:41,308 documents update performance , 53 00:01:41,308 --> 00:01:43,252 improvement strategies and prolong 54 00:01:43,252 --> 00:01:43,740 careers Yeah .
