Active research projects

  • Instituto de Investigación Hospital Universitario La Paz. Cognitive stimulation in patients with HIV. One-year study. Data collected and being analyzed. | HIV
  • Ikerbasque. A program NeuronUP is doing with Juan Carlos Arango. We have developed an attention program (it has 80 games) focused on activities of daily living. It is based on the attention models of Sohlberg and Mateer. The games are already designed and are going to be validated for use in individuals with brain damage (Centro Aita Menni in Mondragon, Spain), with Multiple Sclerosis (Adembi, which is the MS Association in Bilbao, Spain) and in an American population at the University of Utah. | Acquired brain injury | Multiple sclerosis | Attention
