Abstract

VIRCOG is a virtual reality system for the cognitive rehabilitation of patients with neuropsychological disorders (planning, attention, memory, neglect, etc.) in clinical centers. This system allows professionals to offer patients a focused cognitive rehabilitation process to train them to face several activities of daily living (ADL) in a progressive way (difficulty levels), and give them real time feedback about how he/she is confronting them.
