[Clinical and experimental use of Cogimir].
This paper introduces 3 applications of a computer-based methodology for the assessment of cognitive abilities which has been developed during the Cogimir space project: an experimental study comparing gender-related lexical decision abilities, an investigation of hemisphere-specific reading in a subject with a partial split-brain syndrome, and a follow-up study measuring the effect of rehabilitation in a patient with frontal brain damage. Computerized tasks have several advantages over conventional neurobehavioral measurement procedures, among them exact stimulus and response control, the ability to generate numerous alternate forms, and the capability of a subject and level-oriented approach. In addition to their broad experimental application they can easily be adapted for the diagnosis and treatment of patients suffering from cognitive deficits.
