Outline of Research at the Start	Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a serious condition affecting an increasing number of people in Japan. We aim to test this device in a series of experiments adopting ‘classical’ methodologies to investigate spatial REPRESENTATION and spatial UPDATING. Healthy volunteers and SCI patients will be tested.
