Here are the high-level details (please note that these are subject to change):

* The ultimate goal is to develop a touch-enabled game that will help folks recover from traumatic brain injury by improving cognitive, motor, and sensory performance.

* Patients will be able to use the Falcon to complete a range of theraputic tasks in a fun, engaging context.

* One major focus is wounded veterans, an estimated 15% of whom suffer from the effects of TBI.

* The game is planned for the Xbox 360 platform.

* The project is being pursued under a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) sub-contract.
