Effectiveness of computerized task has been demonstrated in the field of cognitive rehabilitation. However, current rehabilitation programs based on virtual environments normally focus on higher cognitive functions, not covering social cognition training.

These tasks are part of the Mental Health program of Guttmann NeuroPersonalTrainer® cognitive tele-rehabilitation platform, and entail innovation both from a clinical and technological perspective in relation with former traditional therapeutic contents.KeywordsNeuroPersonalTrainer®SchizophreniaEmotional processingVideoTasks
