# Introduction

## Gabor Visual Training: Complete Guide

Welcome to the Gabor Visual Training system!

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know — whether you're opening the tool for the first time or looking to deepen your understanding of how perceptual learning works.

### What You Will Learn

This documentation is organized into four sections:

1. **Scientific Basis** — Understand the neuroscience behind why Gabor patch training works and how it differs from traditional eye exercises.
2. **Getting Started** — Learn how to use every feature, switch between training modes, read your progress reports, and apply for trial access.
3. **Membership & Pricing** — Compare the Free plan and Pro plan, explore pricing tiers, and learn how to activate and recover your membership.
4. **FAQ** — Find answers to common questions about training distance, lighting conditions, error rates, and beginner pitfalls.

### Who Is This For?

Gabor Visual Training is designed for adults who experience:

* Eye strain and focus loss from long hours in front of screens
* Difficulty seeing in low-light or twilight conditions
* Lazy eye (amblyopia) and want to try a science-based training method
* High myopia with poor dark adaptation

If any of the above sounds like you, spending just 20 minutes a day on this "brain GPU workout" may help you see the world more clearly.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gaborpatchpractice.gitbook.io/gaborpatchpractice-docs/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
