The Rehabilitation Program

Testimonials
HAPPYneuron Pro delivers highly engaging cognitive skills training programs. Our patients are motivated to work on these web-based exercises because of the appeal of the exercises themselves, and because they are able to track their own progress and performance.

The exercises are grouped in modules to ease the process of building an adapted training plan for your patients.

Executive Functions

This module is specifically designed to train executive functions, including reasoning (capacity to make deductions from hypotheses) and strategy. It contains language-based tasks and visual activities.

Verbal Memory

This module includes perfect exercises to improve verbal memory. It also helps build a strategy (place words into categories for example) to effectively remember a list of words.

Visual Memory

The exercises included in the module will help you to train visual memory using abstract symbols or exotic characters. It also helps pay attention to visual details.

Verbal And Visual Memory

This module contains exercises which train simultaneously verbal and visual memory (menus in a restaurant or cities in a trip).

Spatial Memory

These exercises train abilities to remember locations of items using specific strategies like grouping items or defining patterns.

Visual and Spatial Abilities

This module contains 4 exercises designed to train visual and spatial abilities. It aims at training the patient’s visual mental imagery and more particularly mental rotation in a 3D space.

Visual Attention

This module contains exercises designed to train visual attention. In particular, patients need to pinpoint relevant information, visually scan details and keep mind focused on looking for differences.

Processing Speed

This module includes activities which require answering quickly. In addition, it trains the subject's sustained attention as he has to maintain performance and vigilance over a long period of time.

Auditory

This module contains exercises which involve auditory working memory.

The table below shows the different patient conditions in which this program is adapted to be used.
