Task Generator

The NeuroRehabLab Task Generator (NTG) is a personalized solution for the cognitive training of memory, attention, language and executive functions. It generates cognitive training tasks in pdf format and currently supports English, Portuguese and Italian. The tasks created with the NTG are generated procedurally, that is, they are always different every time they are created.

The software that has been developed with the collaboration of over 20 health professionals and uses computational models of cognitive function to deliver a highly personalized training to each individual.
