Keynote: Brain Disord Ther

Abstract:

Combining the knowledge of neuroscience with computer game design, machine learning, and gaming psychology is set to be a major disruptor in the future of healthcare. Incorporating sensory, cognitive, emotional and behavioral technologies, creators of digital therapeutics are expected to be able to develop games that will improve both health and fundamental cognitive abilities. Neuro-games focused on attention, complex cognitive challenges and mindfulness are just the start as researchers look for solutions for patients suffering from cognitive impairments related to e.g. traumatic brain injury, stroke, depression, Parkinson???s disease, and Alzheimer???s disease. Real computer games + validated neuroscience = improved patient outcomes and quality of care.
