An Augmented Reality Based System for Neglect Detection, Assessment, and Rehabilitation

An Augmented Reality Based System for Neglect Detection, Assessment, and Rehabilitation

The aim of this phase is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the Augmented Reality (AR)-based and electroencephalography (EEG)-based neglect detection and rehabilitation tool.

Inclusion Criteria:

• ages18 and older
• acute stroke
• admitted to inpatient rehabilitation
• presence of neglect (Behavioral Inattention Test total score <129, or scoring below pre-defined cutoff score in at least one of the six subtests)
• more than 10/% missed targets on the Augmented Reality Screening Test
• intact vibration (positive test on Vibration Sensation Test)
• intact auditory function (positive test on Auditory Sensation Test)
• English speaking

Exclusion Criteria:

• inability to follow one-step directions at least 80% of the time
• current diagnosis of dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or space-occupying tumor
• metal in the head that causes interference with the EEG system
• self-report of previous positive photic stimulation test
