18@DIIS'2021 Training of cognitive functions with the use of VR - executive functions

project type: reasarch

edition: 2021

number of students in project 1 - 10

manager: Hanna Nurska

---

The project aims to create a package of VR applications/games that will study executive functions in patients with cognitive impairment. Applications should contain tasks and instructions in Polish, increasing difficulty levels, and data on the speed, correctness, and response time of tasks should be transferred and stored in the cloud. The duration of such a game should not exceed 30 seconds.
For use: VR goggles, controllers,
Sample applications:

• The color name is displayed; however, with a random font color, the user has to select the answer that corresponds to the color name, not the font color—speed of reaction and correctness.


• Solving logical and mathematical puzzles, the first picture shows a diagram of scales with appropriate weights; by deduction the player must balance the opposite weight.

The above applications are examples that do not have to coincide with the final design. The purpose of presenting them is to introduce the type of application. It is a project involving a multidisciplinary team, so it is an opportunity to gain and develop your experience in creating VR applications and work in such a team. Also, the team/person carrying out the project has a chance for longer scientific and professional work with the team of professor Paweł Winklewski of the Department of Human Physiology of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Medical University of Gdańsk.
