VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENTS FOR PSYCHO-NEURO-PHYSIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AND REHABILITATION

Objective

The main goal of VREPAR is to demonstrate a so-called "virtual reality all-purpose modular system" (VRAMS), based on modular architecture, for psycho-neurophysiological assessment and rehabilitation. For use by psychologists, neurologists and other specialists at hospitals, universities and research centres, it is economical and straightforward, with a capacity for interconnection and inter-operation lacking in other systems. The system will be developed through three hardware/software modules in a clinical environment. Development areas are eating, movement and stroke disorders.
