This is a sight & brain training game app that uses Gabor patch images. What is Gabor patch? A kind of striped pattern created by a mathematical process called Gabor transformation. It was developed by Dr. Dennis Gabor, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971 for his invention of holography. It was originally thought that viewing Gabor-transformed images is likely to affect the visual cortex of the brain. Because of its action on the visual cortex of the brain, it is said to be effective not only for nearsightedness but also for presbyopia, astigmatism, and farsightedness. How to play When you press the start button, the Gabor patch image is displayed. Shortly thereafter, several other Gabor images appear on top of it and disappear. Remember where the Gabor patch image disappeared and tap it. If you tap all the parts of the Gabor image that disappeared, the next screen will appear. Each time you erase one, the score will be added. If you make a mistake, it's over, but you can try again and again. There are currently 5 categories, so you can choose and challenge your favorite category every day. (Categories and images will be added regularly) Goal Calendar The number of correct answers is counted when the game is over. If it's your highest score for the day, it will appear in your goals calendar. If you set and clear a daily goal, the number displayed on the goal calendar will turn red. Make it a monthly goal to have all your favorite games displayed in red.

Can you improve your vision? Vision research says yes! Our brain is capable of many things. If you've ever played an instrument or a sport, you already know that the more you practice or train, the better and stronger you get. Much of this has to do with how your brain coordinates your activity. But beyond these activities, the brain is capable of improving in almost every area. This includes improving the way we see the world around us. When we look at an object, our eyes take all that visual information that we see and pass it on to the brain for processing. This information passes into the visual cortex of the brain where we interpret what we see. It turns out that the brain processes this visual information through distinct patterns. These patterns can be closely approximated by something called gabor patches. Challenging your brain by looking at these patterns can strengthen the way we process vision. It's like practice for your eyes. Galaxy Vision is a fun vision training app utilizing these gabor patches. Instructions are pretty simple. Identify the correct orientation of the image. As you successfully select the correct image, the difficulty will increase significantly. This won't be easy; this is meant to be challenging. The best way to use Galaxy Vision is to use it regularly. The more work you put in, the more work you can get out. Take your vision to the next galaxy! Note: This app is not intended to be used for the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. This app is solely designed to challenge your brain’s visual processing.
