  We define Human Performance as the "concept referring the human being capabilities to face and adapt to conditions beyond its physiological and ontological conditioning" .
Training Human Performance means "adapting the human physiology and psychology to face extreme (internal as well as environmental conditions" that range from mere illness, injuries, disability, age, to demanding professional exposure and Space-related human affectations originating in MICE - Microgravity, Isolation and Reclusion Environment during human spaceflight. More about HUP.
 
     
  The concept of Information Anthropology states and fundaments that, in the human being physiology as well as in the conscious and unconscious cognition, the interaction of information fluxes (regardless the material support) could explain observables and, more than that, could give methodological direction to act upon (i.e. to train).
The author proposed a system theory based model of the human being as a system that stream information within the human being itself (proprioception, mental reflection and representations etc.) and in interaction with the environmental information (generally speaking: the information related to the environment, from sensorial to cognitive).
The Information Anthropology model allows to explain and directs the use of experiential phenomena (the training transfer, the symmetric back-training, the systemic effect etc.) related to the neuro-muscular control training and to the mental control training.
 
     
  CASINOR is a methodological training, a specific bio-feedback type of training by inserting the human being (considered an information system according to the Information Anthropology model) into a computer driven feedback loop that automatically acquire movement and cognitive information provided by the human subject and feed, in real time, sensorial information provided by the computer with destination the human subject.
The CASINOR methodology allows learning or reorganising motric and cognitive patterns and recovery of motric and sensorial functions with important meta-stability (remanence). More about CASINOR.
