New-game based system with ocular movements

Beschreibung

Neuroplastic mechanisms in the nervous system could be induced through virtual reality to achieve clinical objectives such as facilitating the recovery process in neurorehabilitation, promoting motivation or improving the adherence to treatment. Currently, our work investigates changes in brain activity related to the practice of eye control of virtual objects. Our previous works in healthy subjects confirm that the control of virtual objects with ocular movements enhances brain activity in sensorimotor regions which can be useful to improve the accuracy in the hand. For this reason, we have developed a new-game based system which uses eye-controlled versions of different arcade games.
