The Need and The Gap The Burden of stroke is predicted to increase from 38 Mio DALYs worldwide in 1990 to 61 Mio DALYs in 2020. [WHO, 2004] • Bridge the GAP betweeninstitutionalized REHA andhome • Provide an adaptive Human-Computer Interface Dr. Donatella Mattia - ePractice, Brussels
The CONTRAST Product Will comprise • The Human-Computer Interface (HCI) withcognitivetrainingmodules • The medical andneuropsychologicaldecisionalgorithmforshareddecisionmaking • Test batteryforoutcomemeasurement • Remote monitoringandcontrol Dr. Donatella Mattia - ePractice, Brussels
The Human-Computer Interface Training to modulate the EEG = Neurofeedback • Effects: • Voluntaryincreaseordecreaseofamplitudes • Improvedcognitivefunction (e.g. attention) Dr. Donatella Mattia - ePractice, Brussels

Effects on Memory End-Users with Stroke Connectivity-based indices to monitor efficacy • Memory Task (Sternberg, 1966); • Memory training with COALA module; • Pre and post training behavioral and neurophysiological (hd-EEG) assessment After memory training patients showed a significant improvement in memory tests (up left) associated to a change in connectivity patterns (bottom right) pointing to a significant increase in the left temporal degree (bottom left) Dr. Donatella Mattia - ePractice, Brussels
