Technology of haptics interfaces with purposes of diagnosis of patient with neuropsychological illnesses

Several disfunctions exist in the haptic perception as a consequence of lesions in the cerebral crust and have been studied by the neuropsychology for many years. The stored information of the experiment, with the classic procedure that allows to make a diagnosis, doesn't exist. To solve this problem, our proposal it is to use a realistic active haptic interface based on a dynamic virtual environment and a haptic device with high electromechanical properties.
