NEUROCIÊNCIAS E ESPORTES Prof. Erick Conde Universidade Federal de Pernambuco Laboratório de Neurociência Cognitiva Inside the brain of an elite athlete: the neural processes that support high achievement in sports Kielan Yarrow* , Peter Brown‡ and John W. Krakauer § Abstract | Events like the World Championships in athletics and the Olympic Games raise the public profile of competitive sports. They may also leave us wondering what sets the competitors in these events apart from those of us who simply watch. Here we attempt to link neural and cognitive processes that have been found to be important for elite performance with computational and physiological REVI EW Stheoriesinspired by much simpler laboratory tasks. In this way we hope to inspire neuroscientists to consider how their basic research might help to explain sporting skill at the highest levels of performance. x ort e t al c e i r a P mirror system Prem ot or cort e x Potential actions D o r sa lstr e am Year on year, competitive athletes confound our expectaand an expanded role for forward models, tions regarding the limits of human physical perform- which includes predicting the sporting consequences of ance.

Os goleiros ficavam à frente com o eye-tracker e com um joystick respondiam para uma das localidades abaixo, simulando a defesa. RESULTADOS: Atletas Experientes prestaram menos atenção em áreas irrelevantes ao movimento. Em outras palavras, os atletas experientes conseguiram filtrar o excesso de informações disponíveis, concentrando-se de forma mais coerente aos seus objetivos na tarefa. •Savelsbergh, G.J.P.; Williams,A.M.; Van Der Kamp, J.; Ward,P.
