Abstract The recent emergence of low-cost virtual reality technologies, like 360° videos and images is attracting the attention researchers suggesting it could be next significant step in technological innovation. birth quite young, goes back to middle nineteenth century then spread more many areas. In years, have grown popularity because they provide a great number advantages compared traditional computer-generated technology. aim this research map scientific works area technology using...

Introduction The evaluation of memory is a crucial aspect both cognitive research and clinical applications, as it offers valuable insights into an individual’s wellbeing performance. Conventional neuropsychological assessments represent the established method for assessing different aspects memory. Recent technological advancements, specifically in field virtual reality (VR), have introduced novel methods evaluating Objective This systematic review aims to examine current state assessment...

Background: Current research on Alzheimer’s Disease has progressively focused Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) as a pre-dementia state, well Subjective Memory Complaint (SMC), potential early indicator of cognitive change. Consequently, timely interventions to prevent decline are essential and most effective when combined with motor training. Nevertheless, motor-cognitive dual-task training often employs non-ecological tasks is confined clinical contexts lacking generalizability daily life....

Mental Flexibility oscillates between adaptive variability in behavior and the capacity to restore homeostasis, linked mental health. It has recently been one of most investigated abilities neurological diseases such as Anorexia nervosa Parkinson's disease, studied for rigidity or cognitive inflexibility. Patients with anorexia have rigid processes about food weight, which leads restrictive eating excessive exercise. People who struggle adapt their actions change diet exercise habits may a...

Virtual Reality is an effective technique for eliciting emotions. It provides immersive and ecologically valid emotional experiences while maintaining experimental control. Recently, novel VR forms like 360° videos have been used successfully emotion elicitation. Some preliminary databases of elicitation proposed, but they tapped mainly into dimensional approach did not include a concurrent physiological assessment profile. This study expands on these by combining discrete approaches to...

Completing cognitive and motor tasks simultaneously requires a high level of control in terms executive processes attentional abilities. Most the daily activities require dual-task performance. While walking, for example, it may be necessary to adapt gait obstacles environment or simply participate conversation; all these involve more than one ability at same time. This parallel performance critical load, especially patients with neurological diseases such as Parkinsonian Syndromes. Patients...

Traditional neuropsychological evaluations are usually carried out using psychometric paper and pencil tests. Nevertheless, there is a continuous discussion concerning their efficacy to capture life-like abilities. The introduction of new technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) 360° spherical photos videos, has improved the ecological validity assessment. possibility simulating realistic environments situations allows clinicians evaluate patients in activities. Moreover, videos seem...

Abstract The Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) is used widely to investigate the multisensory integration mechanisms that support bodily self-consciousness and, more specifically, body ownership and self-location. It has been reported individuals affected by obesity show anomalous processes. We propose these obesity-induced changes could lead an unusual susceptibility RHI self-experience. To test this hypothesis, we administered a modified version of (using picture participant’s hand) participants...

The Tower of London (ToL) test is traditionally used to assess strategical reasoning, problem-solving, and mental planning in clinical populations. Here, we provide the Italian standardization norms for original, 12-problem version ToL test. performance 216 individuals ranging 18 89 age was scored terms both Time (Speed) Accuracy-the time, number attempts, necessary find a solution. We performed univariate analyses on separate Accuracy scores, using Age years, Education Sex (male vs. female)...

Abstract This work aims to present the first step of a creation an instrument assess memory deficits responding needs imposed by inability access clinical care, such as physical or geographical constraints still limitations during pandemic era. The older population, who would benefit from these services, may be at risk services that support psychological and neuropsychological needs, which are not considered essential, has frequently been restricted in recent years. Moreover, because...

Aging may be associated with conditions characterized by motor and cognitive alterations, which could have a detrimental impact on daily life. Although motors aspects always been treated as separate entities, recent literature highlights their relationship, stressing strong association between locomotion executive functions. Thus, designing interventions targeting the risks deriving from both components' impairments is crucial: dual-task represents starting point. its role in decreasing...

Body ownership (i.e., the conscious belief of owning a body) and sense agency being agent one's own movements) are part pre-reflective experience bodily self, which grounds on low-level complex sensory-motor processes. Although previous literature had already investigated body in obesity, was never explored. Here, we exploited sensory attenuation effect an implicit marker agency; SA effect) to investigate whether altered sample 18 individuals affected by obesity as compared with...

Background Technology is already a part of our daily lives, and its influence growing rapidly. This evolution has not spared the health care field. Nowadays, crucial challenge considering aspects such as design, development, implementation, highlighting their functionality, ease use, compatibility, performance, safety when new technological tool developed. As noted in many works, abandonment rate usually higher user terrible experience with these instruments. It would be appropriate to...

Objective The growing attention towards the psychosocial characteristics of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a possible prodromal stage dementia, contributed to spread patient-centered approaches care age-related decline. Within these new models, including Case-Management approaches, technology-based treatments showed improve quality life and functioning people with MCI. However, studies testing technologies treat functional well-being MCI patients are still few. Moreover, whether Case...
