Special issue on technology and neuropsychological rehabilitation: Overview and reflections on ways to conduct future studies and support clinical practice

ABSTRACT

In this editorial, we wish to highlight and reflect on research advances presented in the articles comprising this special issue on technology and neuropsychological rehabilitation, which happens to be published more than a decade after the first special issue on the subject. In 2004, the journal recognised the great potential of information technology for increasing the support provided to people with cognitive deficits, and published emerging state-of-the art practices in the field. Since that time, research and technology have made tremendous progress, and the influence of information technology on research methods has transformed the field of neurorehabilitation. The aim of this editorial is thus to shed light on methodological and conceptual issues requiring further attention from researchers and clinicians in the fields of neuropsychological rehabilitation and technology, and to stimulate debate on promising avenues in clinical research.
