How should I interpret the Variability Graph Metric on my dashboard?

The Variability Graph measures how your cognitive performance varies by the hour of the day. It shows your average score for each cognitive test throughout the day, based on the time period you select.

Why is this important? Most people have times during the day when their cognitive performance is high/lower due to their unique neurophysiology and circadian rhythm. Coaches and players can use this information to schedule training around times of optimal performance. Optimal performance occurs at a time in the day when your cognitive measurements are at their best.

How can I use this?

1. Align Your Highly Demanding Tasks/Activities with Your Times of Optimal Performance: Looking at your data from the last 30 to 90 days provides you an understanding as to when your optimal performance times occur. Use these insights to plan your day and align your highly demanding tasks with optimal performance times for best productivity. Use relaxation techniques such as meditation, journaling, or listening to music during your dips in performance for mental rejuvenation.
2. Compare your Recent Mental Performance Variability to Your Long Term Variability: Shifts in your mental performance variability can provide insights into changes in your lifestyle routine and mental preparation. You can see if changes to your lifestyle and how you prepare for games and practices are reducing the variability in your mental performance, to ensure you are always locked in every time you take the field.
