Attention > Pattern Recognition

Dance With the Fireflies

In this exercise, the user will track and interpret complex movement patterns while watching and analyzing five dancing fireflies. Each dance makes a pattern the user will be asked to recognize from among four suggested trajectories. For each series, the user will have three attempts to find the correct trajectory.

Brain Areas Engaged 
how dance with the fireflies engages the brain.

Learn more about this exercise:

This exercise trains your visual attention and working memory skills as you track moving objects’ trajectories while anticipating their direction. The pre-frontal area is the portion of the brain that helps us attend to and concentrate on incoming information. 

Training your attention and visual tracking skills may help you recognize faces and complex patterns more readily. The skills exercised in this exercise are also the same when we play a team sport such as soccer, driving a vehicle on a busy road, or walking down a busy street. 

You can modify:

  • The type of dance (Simple, Normal, or Complex)
  • The dance variation (Easy, Medium, or Hard)
  • The number of fireflies (2, 4, or 6)
  • The speed of the dance (Slow, Normal, or Fast)
  • The number of possible answers (2, 3, or 4)
  • The number of series (from 1 to 40).
