This single-center pilot study evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and preliminary stimulus validation of StimolIrpinia, a multimedia repository of culturally and territorially relevant autobiographical stimuli designed to support cognitive rehabilitation activities in patients with severe acquired brain injury (sABI). The repository includes images, videos, maps, local cultural information, and printable materials related to the Irpinia area in Campania, Italy. Healthy adult volunteers will review the stimuli for their ability to evoke autobiographical memories, familiarity, emotional activation, and pleasantness. Hospitalized patients with sABI will complete six 30-minute StimolIrpinia-supported rehabilitation sessions over two weeks in addition to their routine comprehensive rehabilitation program. Rehabilitation professionals will receive standardized training and will use the repository to personalize cognitive rehabilitation exercises. Usability and acceptability will be evaluated from both patient and operator perspectives.
