Objectives
The goal of the I-Learning project is to develop and test a novel, technology-assisted technique for the teaching of complex motor skills to large target populations. This technique exploits the concept of “motor” and “mental imagery” - currently a hot topic in basic neurological and cognitive science. The I-Learning concept was under test with two pilot populations, namely patients undergoing neurological rehabilitation after stroke and drivers learning to drive in low friction (icy) road conditions
