Abstract

This report aims to investigate how a current exercise within brain damage rehabilitation can be designed and implemented to allow for extensive tracking of patients performance and apply the information to accommodate for distractions in immediate environment. Based on theory regarding visual search and endogenous attention were three features designed and tested as aiding tools during distractive situation with the intention of lowering the challenge of the exercise. One feature showed significant results regarding time reduction. The test was performed on healthy individuals and should be repeated with patients affected by brain damage.
