Researchers are studying visuospatial abilities and psychological outcomes in patients with Multiple Sclerosis MS and West Nile virus infection vWN. Both conditions can affect cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and executive skills. This study aims to better understand these impairments and test a new rehabilitation approach to improve visuospatial and cognitive functions. Participants will receive 10 sessions over 2 weeks of cognitive training using Mindlenses Professional, a device that combines prismatic adaptation therapy with digital serious games targeting attention, executive functions, and language. There is also a comparison group receiving standard computerized cognitive rehabilitation offered by the hospital.
