We seek to elucidate the neuronal mechanisms of motivation. This project aims to develop a biofeedback procedure to induce motivation for cognitive and motor effort in healthy and stroke subjects. To this end, we will record the neuronal activation of motivation and effort electrophysiologically, using high-density EEG. The corresponding autonomous response will be assessed with cardiological parameters.

The aim is to reach a first harmonization agreement of diagnostic post-stroke cognitive assessments within the European Economic Area (EEA). An expert consortium representing 26 EEA countries determined a consensus-based, multilingual neuropsychological minimal dataset after stroke (NMDS). Current projects relate to the clinical implementation of the NMDS. We are working on an NMDS online platform rendering normed patient profiles to facilitate the neuropsychologists’ assessment procedures.

COPE-D develops the first web-based health platform for cognition that 

1. Standardizes and streamlines assessments for neuropsychologists.
2. Empowers patients by providing access to their data. Additional patient education material is personalized and adapted to their cognitive deficit, promoting understanding and engagement in rehabilitation.

COPE-D improves quality of care, patient rehabilitation involvement and saves healthcare costs.

We are interested in the interaction of cognitive and motor deficits in stroke patients. In this project we retrospectively analyse stroke assessments and rehabilitation data with the aim to elucidate cognitive-motor patient and rehabilitation profiles.
