Wayne Peripheral Awareness Trainer (PAT)

The Wayne PAT ("Spider") is the first developmental vision training instrument designed specifically for the enhancement and testing of peripheral awareness, a crucially important visual skill in almost all athletic activities. It can also be used for developing eye-hand coordination, decreasing reaction time to visual stimuli, and integrating visual and directional responses--all of which are vital for optimum athletic performance. College, professional, and Olympic teams worldwide use the PAT as a basic instrument in their sports vision programs.

The PAT is a compact wall-mounted instrument. Eight peripheral target lights mounted on plastic rods extend at 45-degree angles from a cylinder that contains a 4-digit LED display and a central fixation light. The peripheral target lights light up at random and the user responds by pointing a joystick in the direction of the target light while fixating on the central light. The PAT contains an Intel microcomputer programmed to perform the following functions:

1. Test peripheral awareness and reaction time in eight field locations.
2. Display the actual reaction time in hundredths of a second for each target light position.
3. Train peripheral awareness by forcing the user to centrally fixate while simultaneously responding to a peripheral target light.
4. Adjust stimulus speed automatically to match the user's proficiency.
