Virtual reality-based music attention training for acquired brain injury: A randomized crossover study.

ABSTRACT: This single-blind randomized crossover study aimed to explore the effectiveness of virtual reality-based music attention training (VR-MAT) on cognitive function and examine its potential as a cognitive assessment tool in people with acquired brain injury (ABI). Overall, 24 participants with cognitive impairment secondary to a first-ever ABI underwent VR-MAT and conventional cognitive training (CCT) 3 months after onset. This was performed in two 4-week phases, over 8 weeks. During VR-MAT, participants engaged in attention training through a four-level virtual drumming program designed to enhance various attentional aspects. In contrast, during CCT, participants underwent structured conventional training, including card sorting and computerized training. Neuropsychological evaluations were
