Press release from Neural Port Co., Ltd. (April 13, 2026, 10:10am) First introduction in the baseball world! VR brain fatigue measurement system “ZEN EYE Pro” concludes service usage contract with Honda baseball club for 2026 season
Neural Port Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Representative Director: Anna Shimafuji) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a service usage agreement for the 2026 season with Honda Baseball Club for the brain fatigue measurement system "ZEN EYE Pro" that utilizes VR technology. This is the first fullscale introduction of ZEN EYE Pro into the baseball world. [Background and issues] For athletes, managing their condition throughout the long season is one of the most important issues in maintaining performance. While scientific approaches to recovering from physical fatigue, such as nutritional management, sleep, and icing, are widely used, they also affect decisions at bat, defensive first steps, and control of pitching. Brain/nervous system fatigue Currently, objective measurement and management methods have not yet been established. Brain fatigue that accumulates without you noticing is directly linked not only to a decline in performance, but also to the risk of injury and withdrawal due to fatigue. In today's world where technology is rapidly evolving, there is an urgent need for a system to visualize brain fatigue and manage it as data. [Background and aim of introduction] In order to help the Honda baseball club overcome its challenges and transition to datadriven team management, we have decided to officially offer ZEN EYE Pro starting in the 2026 season. By continuously understanding and numerically managing players' brain fatigue levels before and after practice/games, the aim is to simultaneously optimize practice loads, maximize performance, and prevent injuries. [VR brain fatigue measurement system ZEN EYE Pro]ZEN EYE Pro is a system that uses eyetracking VR to simultaneously quantify brain fatigue (central fatigue) and autonomic nervous system fatigue in just one minute. By measuring eye movements and pupillary reactions, brain fatigue levels are evaluated noninvasively and objectively. [Team comment] Honda Baseball Club Manager Yuichi Tahata The effectiveness of Neural Port's brain fatigue measurement system has been proven in use by other competitive athletes. At the Honda baseball team, we hope that by continuously monitoring players' levels of brain fatigue before and after games, we will be able to efficiently and effectively recover from fatigue and maximize performance. [Future development] Starting with this first introduction to the baseball world, Neural Port Co., Ltd. will accelerate the rollout of ZEN EYE Pro to professional sports teams in Japan and overseas. As a "friend of high performers," we aim to popularize conditioning based on neuroscience, not only for athletes, but also for the military, executives (business athletes), and corporate mental health fields. About NeuralPort Inc. NeuralPort Inc. is committed to achieving human potential through cuttingedge technology. The company specializes in the development of innovative tools such as the ZEN EYE Pro, a stresscheck system using gaz
