"I would like to have answers that are not limited to the important sensations... while training, as well as monitoring my WATT, knowing and measuring my mental state, is no small matter at all."
Giulio Molinari, professional triathlete specialising in long distances
Not only lactate: the flow state can be measured as well as evaluated
1. Goal: extend and achieve the flow state from training to competition
A simple piece of equipment: inside a band placed on the forehead there are sensors which collect electroencephalographic data sent in real time to a smartphone app. Our algorithms transform this numerical data into quantitative index that are useful for interpreting the components underlying flow and for integrating it with those provided by the instruments used for training (e.g. indoor bike).
The results: for the athlete, a 360-degree reference of the training performed, resulting in greater awareness and self-efficacy. For the support staff - increasingly interdisciplinary - complicity, alignment with the objectives in a constant challenge.
