Description of the platform's activity
The Neuroscape Facility implements serious video games for cognitive neurology, neuropsychology and neurorehabilitation. The Facility has been established in January 2018, is co-directed by Professors Arseny Sokolov and Andrea Serino, and located in the Pavillon 4 at the CHUV. The Facility is a founding member of the Neuroscape Alliance https://neuroscape.ucsf.edu/alliance/), spear-headed by the Neuroscape Center at the University of California San Francisco.
Equipment & Expertise
The Neuroscape Facility is equipped with virtual reality devices, a driving simulator, an immersive giant screen, high-end computers, whole-body tracking and wearable physiological sensors. Research staff and collaborators consist of engineers, neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, physical therapists and neurologists with expertise in neurological rehabilitation.
Mission & Services
The mission of the Neuroscape Facility is to design, assess, validate and implement novel gamified technological approaches for the assessment and rehabilitation of cognitive function and behavior in neurological patients. To this end, the Facility initiates projects itself, but is also available to colleagues interested in performing fundamental research or clinical trials using gamified and immersive technology for cognitive assessment and/or neurorehabilitation.
Directed by Prof Arseny Sokolov
