About

Dr. Helenice Charchat‐Fichman is a leading figure in clinical and experimental neuropsychology, with a particular focus on the integration of new technologies into cognitive assessment and rehabilitation. Her most cited work, the 2014 narrative review "New Technologies in Assessment and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation" (16 citations), critically examines how technological innovations—from computerized batteries to virtual reality—have been historically embedded in both research and clinical practice. This seminal paper maps the evolution of digital tools in neuropsychology, highlighting their potential to enhance diagnostic precision, accessibility, and ecological validity. Dr. Charchat‐Fichman’s contributions have helped bridge the gap between traditional paper-and-pencil methods and modern, technology-driven approaches, influencing how practitioners and researchers design interventions for patients with cognitive impairments. Her work underscores the importance of adapting neuropsychological methods to the digital age, making her a key voice in the ongoing transformation of the field. Through her scholarship, she continues to shape how clinicians and scientists leverage technology to improve assessment accuracy and rehabilitation outcomes.
