Bringing together clinicians, researchers, XR developers, and patient representatives from across Europe to advance the diagnosis and treatment of spatial neglect following acquired brain injury.
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

With help from members working together from more than 50 different institutions, NeuroXRehab aims to help position the EU as a major player in health technologies.
Action Launch
The neuroXRehab COST Action “Extended Reality Neurorehabilitation of Spatial Neglect and Related Disorders After Brain Injury” launched on September 24th, providing a common collaborative network for clinicians, researchers, XR developers and patient representatives.
Building Momentum
New Working Group members are continuously joining the Action and Working group kick-off meetings (WG1-4) and training schools are successfully organised. The scope and criteria for Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) are defined, and the first missions are launched..
Accumulating knowledge
Data for the meta study (WG1) is collected and analysed. The stakeholder and roundtable meetings (WG2-3) on assessment and treatment of spatial neglect are successfully completed. Short-Term Scientific Missions (WG2-4) are effectively exchanging knowledge and know-how across labs in Europe.
Developing infrastructure
The review on technology, methodology and scientific evidence is finalised (WG1). The data policies for sharing data across Europe are concluded (WG4). The protocols for future multicentre studies on diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy of spatial neglect are completed (WG5).
Planning future research
The consensus papers on assessment and treatment of spatial neglect using XR technologies are published (WG2-3). Common data elements are implemented in the data sharing platform (WG4). At least two funding proposals for future research are submitted to European research foundation (WG5).
2023 and beyond…
The multidisciplinary European network of clinicians, researchers, and developers established during the neuroXRehab COST Action’s four-year life-time will carry out multi-centre studies of spatial neglect using XR technologies across the continuum of care for the years to come.
Our network is always looking for more members with relevant knowledge and expertise.
