Selective Attention, Response Inhibition

The Wall task is an interactive Virtual Reality (VR)-based exercise designed to enhance cognitive functions. In this task, the patient must strike pistons emerging from a virtual wall at precise moments. To increase neuroplasticity and task difficulty, the complexity evolves through increasing speed, multi-piston synchronization, wall movement, and “Go/No-Go” paradigms. This training targets the strengthening of Selective Attention and Response Inhibition, while simultaneously improving reaction time and hand-eye coordination.

The Wall task is designed to enhance selective attention, response inhibition, information processing speed, and hand-eye coordination. During this task, the patient must rapidly identify and respond to relevant stimuli among multiple distractors, while simultaneously inhibiting responses to irrelevant stimuli or withholding responses under specific conditions. The progressive increase in task complexity challenges impulse control, sustained attention, rapid decision-making, and overall executive functions, thereby facilitating neurocognitive improvement.

This exercise is highly applicable in cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive training programs for individuals presenting with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or those with executive dysfunction. Additionally, it serves as an effective intervention for attention enhancement and response control in older adults or individuals experiencing Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

First, select the Wall task from the exercise list and set the desired difficulty level. Once the patient has put on the headset, use the “Environment Setup” section to calibrate the precise height and position. Finally, press the “Start” button to initiate the countdown and begin the task.
