Virtual Reality Cognitive Stimulation for Alzheimer's
Sponsor: Universidad de Burgos
Summary
This study aims to evaluate whether immersive virtual reality (VR) can improve cognitive function and memory in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Twenty participants in Burgos, Spain, will engage in VR sessions that recreate scenes from 1960s Burgos, representing environments familiar from the participants' youth. The effects of these VR-based cognitive stimulation sessions will be assessed through pre- and post-intervention evaluations, including behavioral observations, EEG monitoring of brain activity, and standardized neurocognitive tests (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Clock-Drawing Test, and Verbal Fluency Test).

Interventions
Virtual reality
The intervention consists of a series of immersive virtual reality (VR) sessions designed to provide cognitive stimulation for patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Participants in the experimental group will be exposed to VR environments that recreate the city of Burgos as it appeared in the 1960s, an era corresponding to their youth. These VR experiences will include familiar scenes, landmarks, and culturally relevant settings designed to evoke personal memories and enhance cognitive engagement.
