Virtual Reality Environments for Psychoneurophysiological Assessment and Rehabilitation (VREPAR) are two European Community funded projects (Telematics for health-HC 1053/HC 1055-http://www.psicologia.net) whose aim is (a) to develop a PC based virtual reality system (PC-VRS) for the medical market that can be marketed at a price that is accessible to its possible endusers (hospitals, universities, and research centres) and that would have the modular, connectability and interoperability characteristics that the existing systems lack; and (b) to develop three hardware/software modules for the application of the PC-VRS in psychoneurophysiological assessment and rehabilitation. The chosen development areas are eating disorders (bulimia, anorexia, and obesity), movement disorders (Parkinson's disease and torsion dystonia), and stroke disorders (unilateral neglect and hemiparesis). In particular, the VREPAR 2 project is now testing the eating disorders module on a clinical sample.
用于心理神经生理学评估与康复的虚拟现实环境(VREPAR)是两个由欧洲共同体资助的项目(健康远程信息处理 - HC 1053/HC 1055 - http://www.psicologia.net),其目标是:(a)为医疗市场开发一个基于个人电脑的虚拟现实系统(PC - VRS),该系统能够以其潜在终端用户(医院、大学和研究中心)可承受的价格进行销售,并且具备现有系统所缺乏的模块化、可连接性和互操作性特征;(b)开发三个硬件/软件模块,用于将PC - VRS应用于心理神经生理学评估与康复。选定的开发领域包括饮食失调(贪食症、厌食症和肥胖症)、运动障碍(帕金森病和扭转性肌张力障碍)以及中风障碍(单侧忽视和偏瘫)。特别是,VREPAR 2项目目前正在一个临床样本上测试饮食失调模块。
