The app encourages users do these exercises four days per week. In a recent baseball study, researchers found that training your brain with a perceptual learning app could [improve your vision](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-care). The test was done on baseball players at the [University of California](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epeli) in Riverside. During the 2013 NCAA Division 1 season, 19 players on the team were given 25-minute brain-training sessions with the Ultimeyes app. The results showed that the players who used the Ultimeyes app had significant improvements in their sight at a distance of 20 feet and farther. Some of the players had 20/20 vision at the start of the season and jumped to 20/15 and some even 20/7.5 by the end. The research indicated an average increase of about 31 percent. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Brain-training Apps:** There is an opportunity to create brain-training apps to improve other areas besides eyesight, such as hearing or memory. - **Perceptual Learning:** The concept of perceptual learning could be applied to other industries, like virtual reality training or education. - **At-home Healthcare:** The combination of technology and healthcare could open up opportunities for at-home healthcare services using similar brain-training approaches. ### Where This Applies - **Healthcare:** Healthcare providers could incorporate brain-training apps in their patient care, offering patients a non-invasive option to improve their eyesight. - **Fitness:** Fitness companies could create brain-training programs for athletes aimed at improving their sports performance. - **Education:** Educational institutions could use brain-training methods to improve cognitive abilities in children with learning disabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AR-Powered Eye Training Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyes-amblyopia-trainer.md) - [Accessible Eye Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-health-app.md) - [Automated Vision Therapy Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-eye-care-device.md) - [Attention Improvement Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focus-trainer.md) - [Athletic Training Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/falconframes.md) - [Memory Training Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory-athlete.md) - [Vison-Enhancing Eye Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vuity-eye-drops.md) - [Cognitive Fitness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelliboost.md) - [Digital Eye Health Preservation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blink-eye.md)
