Sports psychology
Sports psychology is concerned with the attitudes, thoughts and behaviour of elite athletes. It seeks to explain and predict these, and also to alter and optimize them where necessary or desirable.
Mental health in performance sport
The Department of Sports Psychology at the SFISM is the national centre of excellence for mental health in performance sport. Its aim is to better understand the mental health of athletes through research and to effectively integrate this knowledge into the Swiss sports system.
Mental training using neurofeedback and VR
In an interdisciplinary research project, neuroscientists and sports psychologists are investigating how and whether mental training using pupil-based neurofeedback works in a virtual reality environment. The aim is to scientifically demonstrate the effectiveness of this newly developed approach to mental training.
