bWell-D Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

"Patients will take part in the bWell cognitive remediation protocol, consisting of 40-minute sessions of bWell, administered 2 times a week for 8 weeks. These sessions consist of tasks that target various cognitive domains and increase in complexity and difficulty as training progresses. The tasks are as follows:~1. Lab Exercise: participant alternates between two different, increasingly complex 'recipes', targeting executive functioning and divided attention.~2. Egg Exercise: In an office environment, participants must seek out and maintain their gaze on certain objects in order to collect them in the presence of visual distractors, targeting sustained attention.~3. Mole Exercise: participants must strike moles with the matching coloured hammer as fast as possible, targeting selective attention.~4. Theatre Exercise: participants must remember objects presented on stage and recreate the sequence after the curtains close, targeting working memory."

Patients will take part in the viewing of VR scenes which contain no instructed cognitive tasks. This consists of 40-minute sessions of viewing VR scenes, administered 2 times a week for 8 weeks.
