Research Assistant and PhD Candidate, Chelsea Marsh, attended the 21st NR-SIG-WFNR Conference in June/July, 2024. She presented the speech and poster, entitled: "An Immersive Virtual Reality Game to Identify Spatial Neglect: The Full Story From Conception & Piloting, to Efficacy & Implementation Analyses." Chelsea’s presentation provided an overview of the full study from idea generation to implementation, describing the process by which the research team created an immersive virtual reality (VR) game to assess for spatial neglect following stroke: The Attention Atlas (AA). Over 4 years, the team have piloted, and evaluated the efficacy of the AA, as well as conducting usability and implementation analyses to understand the potential for clinical uptake.
