Scientific title
Study objectives	We are currently developing a virtual reality of the Regional Neurological Rehabilitation Unit which can be used for cognitive retraining purposes. Areas which are being reconsidered for retraining are memory, in particular topographical memory, and executive functions. The aims of the project are to investigate the clinical utility of VR with a brain damaged population and to evaluate whether VR shows better generalisation of skills than traditional methods of cognitive retraining using computers.
