Summary

This study explores whether a system combining augmented reality (AR) and brainwave monitoring (EEG) can detect and help rehabilitate spatial neglect in stroke survivors. Spatial neglect is a condition where a person ignores one side of their world, often after a stroke. Ten stroke survivors with neglect will use an AR headset and EEG cap during therapy sessions to see if the system can accurately identify neglected targets and be acceptable for daily use.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
augmented reality and EEG-based system
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a new way to detect and treat spatial neglect after stroke, potentially improving rehabilitation outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study with only 10 participants, so results may not generalize. The technology is still experimental and requires further testing.
