Abstract
This paper presents a novel cognitive rehabilitation system with a tangible tabletop interface allowing the users to perform cognitive tasks intuitively by their hands. The system consists of a tabletop display with multi-touch function and several tangible objects working on the tabletop interface. We named the system E-CORE (Embodied COgnitive REhabilitation) since it reinforces the coupling of human body and cognition. E-CORE is designed to improve both cognitive functions and gross motor skills of older adults by practicing artificial daily life activities such as cookie making.
