Dedika is a platform where you learn by doing—whether that's putting together a business proposal, becoming a nail technician, or picking up a new tool. No matter your goal, the best content on the topic is already out there. But it's often in another language, expensive, scattered, lacking hands-on activities, or buried in courses that are too long for busy people. That's why Dedika has its own approach: we find the best material wherever it is, organize what fits your goals, review it with experts who are available to answer your questions, and create practical exercises so you can learn by doing. You matter most in your learning journey, and no one knows it better than you do. Choose the content and course length, decide if you want to learn online or offline, and pick your preferred format—video, text, audio, or summary. It's your way, with only what makes sense for you. Here, every moment you dedicate counts for more, and you reach what matters faster.

Our courses include a summary at the end of each chapter, from which you can download a PDF and print it.

Neurocentric vision training

For all levels

Neurocentric vision training

Neurocentric Vision Training gives practitioners a complete, science-backed system for assessing and retraining vision as a brain-driven process. You'll master ocular motor rehabilitation, vestibular-visual integration, peripheral field expansion, and visual cognition protocols. This course bridges neuroscience and applied practice for clinical, performance, and rehabilitation contexts.

Dedika for Business

What you will learn:

You will learn how the brain constructs and regulates visual perception, and why targeting the nervous system produces better outcomes than eye-only approaches. The course covers functional visual assessment across multiple neurological domains, ocular motor training progressions, vestibular-visual recalibration, and peripheral awareness development. You will also study visual cognition, reaction time training, and rehabilitation strategies for concussion, stroke, and vestibular disorders. Advanced modules address periodization, technology integration, and evidence-based program design. By the end, you will be equipped to build individualized, measurable vision training programs for athletes, clinical patients, and high-performance populations.

Lesson 3 • Principles of Functional Visual Testing
Distinguishes functional from structural visual assessment. Establishes why standard acuity charts are insufficient for neurocentric evaluation.
Lesson 4 • Interpreting and Documenting Results
Synthesizes multi-domain test data into a prioritized deficit profile. Teaches documentation standards that guide program design and track progress.
Lesson 5 • Visual Field and Acuity Testing
Teaches confrontation field testing and contrast sensitivity measurement. Identifies peripheral and central processing deficits relevant to training design.

Ocular Motor Training Techniques

Lesson 1 • Smooth Pursuit Rehabilitation
Teaches graded pursuit drills targeting cerebellar and parietal pathways. Progresses from slow predictable targets to fast unpredictable motion.
Lesson 2 • Saccade Training Progressions
Introduces voluntary and reflexive saccade drills from simple to complex. Builds the neural efficiency required for rapid, accurate gaze shifts.
Lesson 3 • Fixation and Gaze Stability Drills
Trains sustained fixation and gaze-hold under increasing postural and cognitive demands. Supports reading, driving, and precision motor tasks.
Lesson 4 • Programming Ocular Motor Sessions
Applies load management principles to structure weekly ocular motor training blocks. Prevents overtraining and ensures progressive adaptation.
Lesson 5 • Vergence and Accommodation Training
Addresses convergence insufficiency and accommodative lag through lens and prism-based drills. Directly improves near-work endurance and depth perception.

Chapter 4See details

Vestibular-Visual Integration Training

Lesson 1 • Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Fundamentals
Reviews the neural circuitry of the VOR and its role in stabilizing gaze during head movement. Establishes why VOR gain is a primary training target.
Lesson 2 • Gaze Stabilization Exercise Protocols
Teaches x1 and x2 viewing exercises to recalibrate VOR gain. Progresses from stationary to dynamic environments for functional carryover.
Lesson 3 • Balance and Postural Integration
Combines visual and vestibular inputs with somatosensory challenges to train postural stability. Applies sensory reweighting principles to standing and moving tasks.
Lesson 4 • Optokinetic and Visual Flow Training
Uses optokinetic stimulation to train visual flow processing and reduce motion sensitivity. Addresses visually induced dizziness and spatial disorientation.
Lesson 5 • Sport and Performance Applications
Translates VOR and gaze stabilization gains into sport-specific movement patterns. Designs drills that replicate the visual demands of athletic competition.
