E-CORE (Embodied COgnitive REhabilitation): A Cognitive Rehabilitation System Using Tangible Tabletop Interface

  • Conference paper
Converging Clinical and Engineering Research on Neurorehabilitation

Part of the book series: Biosystems & Biorobotics ((BIOSYSROB,volume 1))

Abstract

This paper presents a novel cognitive rehabilitation system with a tangible tabletop interface allowing the users to perform cognitive tasks intuitively by their hands. The system consists of a tabletop display with multi-touch function and several tangible objects working on the tabletop interface. We named the system E-CORE (Embodied COgnitive REhabilitation) since it reinforces the coupling of human body and cognition. E-CORE is designed to improve both cognitive functions and gross motor skills of older adults by practicing artificial daily life activities such as cookie making.

This work has been supported by the Assessment Technology of Cognitive Ability for Elderly People Sponsored by Ministry of Knowledge Economy.
