Integrated bio-cooperative robotic platform for virtual cognitive training in Parkinson's disease: design and methodology of the OPERA project
The present paper presents the methodological framework of the OPERA project, which brings together partners with complementary expertise to develop and evaluate the PRoBio platform, a novel bio-cooperative system for cognitive rehabilitation in patients with PD-MCI. By integrating VR, robotics and physiological feedback, PRoBio aims to enable personalized, adaptive interventions, offering a more engaging alternative to traditional rehabilitation approaches while advancing research in bidirectional human-robot interaction.
