Name Time Method Rehacom is a software package that helps to assess and train different cognitive deficits: RehaCom software (Hasomed, Magdeburg, Germany) is an intensive cognitive rehabilitation test that includes 32 assessment tasks for attention, memory and executive function. ;EEG mapping:<br> The EEG was recorded with a resolution of 12 bits, 0.5 and 35 Hz filters and 200 samples per second, using the Braintech 3.0 equipment (EMSA Equipamentos Médicos). Impedance was maintained below 10 K . The electrodes were placed according to the International 10–20 System, with the use of an additional two electrodes placed 1 cm below (left side) and above (right side) the external angle of the eyelid, with the objective of evaluating eye movements
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Montreal cognitive assessment:<br> Screening assessment used for cognitive assessment. It is widely used design for assessment of mild cognitive impairments. It takes approximately 10 min to complete.30-point cognitive screening instrument. It purports to assess different cognitive domains (short term memory, visuospatial ability, executive function, attention, concentration, working memory, language and orientation to time and place).<br>
