Why Schulte tables?

Backed by neuroscience research. Watch this 2.5-minute explainer to see how a simple grid trains three different brain regions at once.

🧠
Prefrontal cortex
Working memory training β€” your "conductor" learns to juggle multiple goals at once.
⚑
Anterior cingulate
Error detection improves β€” you stay calm and accurate under pressure.
✨
Reward system
Dopamine hit on every find β€” that's why it's addictive in a good way.
Research: Studies tracking eye movement and brain MRI show measurable improvements in attention, reading speed, and neural connectivity after regular practice.
NEW Β· EYE TRACKING

See where your eyes really go

The whole point of a Schulte table is to keep your gaze on the center and find the numbers with peripheral vision. Many people are sure they do β€” while their eyes actually dart from cell to cell. Now you can check it: turn on EyeControl in the game and your ordinary webcam will record how your eyes moved during the training.

Looking at the center is the main skill this exercise builds. Eye tracking finally lets you measure it instead of guessing.

πŸ‘
Your gaze trace
After every level you see the path your eyes took, drawn around the center cell of the table.
🎯
How central were you?
The average and maximum distance of your gaze from the center, in table cells β€” a number you can improve.
πŸ“ˆ
Train the real skill
Keep the trace tight around the center while still finding numbers faster. That is what makes the technique work.
πŸ”’ Private by design
The camera image is processed only in your browser β€” it is never sent to our servers and never stored. Your calibration data also stays only in your browser, on your own device. Nothing about your face or your eyes is uploaded anywhere.
Try it in the game β†’Turn on the β€œEyeControl” switch under the table and follow the short calibration (about a minute and a half, once β€” it is remembered next time). Experimental: an ordinary webcam reliably shows when your gaze wanders away from the center, but it can't tell neighboring cells apart.

How it works

Schulte tables have been used since the 1950s by athletes, pilots, and speed readers.

01
Start the table
Numbers (or letters) are randomly arranged in a grid.
02
Find in order
Click 1, then 2, then 3… as fast as you can without searching cell by cell.
03
Use peripheral vision
The trick is to stare at the center and use your peripheral vision to find numbers.
04
Get faster
Track your progress, beat daily challenges, compete with friends.
