Check out this brain-training video game created by a neuroscientist after her father suffered a brain injury. Using this game, users can accomplish real-life tasks, like driving and cooking. Doing this combines physical movement to activate the whole neural network and also increases cognition and brain plasticity.
Video games like Intendu one are used during rehabilitation, help track the patients’ rehabilitation process. My rehab center had a Wii, with games like Just Dance, to help me during physical therapy. It’s good to see that this amazing technology is being put to good use, like helping patients’ rehabilitation and as a patient I can say I really enjoyed playing a game during rehab, which made the learning better, easier and more enjoyable. You really see the change when you can reach a new level in the game you couldn’t reach before.

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write.
I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer.
I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book.
Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
