Monday June 16th Academiegebouw Domplein Utrecht Uncovering, at any given time, how many items are present in someone’s (visual) working memory is a complex task. Alex investigated whether computational cognitive models can give insight into working memory usage based on gaze behaviour – and how experimental manipulations affect this usage of working memory. Additionally, he…

Friday June 20th Academiegebouw Domplein Utrecht. How do patients with acquired brain injury employ their visual working memory to efficiently perceive and use visual information? Do conventional neuropsychological tasks tell the whole story or should we move on to novel paradigms? During the course of het PhD Sanne found out whether eye movement behavior can…

We are excited to announce that abstract submission is now open for our upcoming symposium on the use of XR technologies for the neurorehabilitation of spatial neglect and related disorders. We warmly invite you and/or your team members to submit an abstract and share an update of your work. To support participation and promote diversity, we are…

Join us for a dynamic two-day event at the forefront of neuroscience, rehabilitation, and immersive technology. This symposium brings together researchers, clinicians and developers  to explore how Extended Reality (XR)—including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR)—can transform diagnosis and treatment of Spatial Neglect and related disorders in individuals with Acquired Brain…

Visuospatial neglect is a common and debilitating condition following unilateral stroke, significantly impacting cognitive functioning and daily life. There is an urgent need for effective treatments that can provide clinically relevant and sustained benefits. Multi-session transcranial alternating current stimulation combined with visual scanning training may be a more effective treatment for chronic visuospatial neglect than…
