Virtual Reality 'Neuromender' Brings Hope to Stroke Survivors From: Medical Design technology - 12/22/2015 Games Technology students and Computer Science lecturers from Murdoch's School of Engineering and Information Technology are helping stroke survivors put their lives back together. The team from Murdoch has worked with clinicians from the West Australian Neuroscience Research Institute (WANRI) to develop a computer-based Virtual Reality (VR) rehabilitation program called Neuromender, which will greatly advance the recovery of stroke survivors.
