Feasibility Study of Virtual Sail 3D in Cognitive Functions

This research project will assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a 6-week intervention to improve cognitive functions using the 3D immersive virtual reality software "CEREBRUM" with virtual sailing scenarios among elderly with mild cognitive impairment. CEREBRUM, developed by PRoMIND in association with IDEGO, is the first European tool for enhancing cognitive functions via 3D immersive virtual reality in psychosocial disabilities. Previous studies have shown its effectiveness in improving cognitive functions and well-being in people with bipolar disorders. The software includes modules for memory, learning, cognitive estimations, attention, working memory, and executive functions. For this study, the software was developed with sailing virtual scenarios to make it more enjoyable and engaging, as well as to train other cognitive functions such as motor skills and language abilities among people with disabilities.
