A cognitive/multisensory stimulation system simulates real sports action/jobtaskscenarios for assessing, profiling, practicing, improving or rehabilitatingcognitivefunction performance of athletes or individuals. Cognitive functionimprovementcan be provided by: establishing with a subject a sensory semantic languageforrelating a number of sensory signals to corresponding possible actions, thesensory semantic language being essentially new to the subject; instructingtheathlete to perform an task involving sport/job skills; providing to thesubject duringthe task sensory signals requiring rapid discernment by the subject of thesemantic meaning of the sensory signal to correctly chose one possible action;and determining whether the subject correctly responds to the selected sensorysignal during the task; obtaining a cognitive-sensor reaction-time map over avisual field of the subject; and repeating the steps over multiple repeatedtasksusing selectively randomized sensory signals selected to progressively restorethe cognitive-sensor reaction-time map a normal profile.
