NUNOVA — Powered by Cogmed
Support for cognitive complaints
Many people who have suffered injuries after an accident continue to experience long-term cognitive complaints, such as difficulty concentrating and memory problems. This affects their daily functioning and their reintegration.
NUNOVA offers proven effective cognitive training based on the Cogmed programme, with personal guidance. Our approach helps people train their brains in a targeted manner and take steps towards recovery. In this way, we help people move from frustration and stagnation to control and progress.Â

The brain can recover with the right stimulus(es)
The brain is neuroplastic. This means that the brain has the ability to adapt and recover, provided it is activated in the right way. The Cogmed programme, combined with intensive guidance from NUNOVA, makes this possible.
The role of the prefrontal and parietal cortex in cognitive complaints
The prefrontal and parietal cortex communicate via the frontoparietal network. This network is responsible for a number of crucial cognitive functions.Â
We are providing you with this information so that you can better understand what these areas of the brain are responsible for. Below is a brief explanation of the role of the prefrontal and parietal cortex in cognitive complaints.
Prefrontal cortex (frontal lobe)
- This area of the brain is responsible for actively retaining and manipulating information.
- It helps to temporarily store information while a task is being performed (for example: remembering a telephone number while you are dialling it).
- The prefrontal cortex is also important for planning, attention, focus and goal-oriented behaviour. Functions dependent on a good working memory.
Parietal cortex (parietal lobe)
- This area is involved in storing spatial and sensory information in working memory.
- It helps to organise and integrate information, especially in visual-spatial tasks (such as mentally moving or comparing something).

Concentration problems
Memory problems
Slow information processing
Fatigue or mental exhaustion
Reduced overview and structure
Overstimulation

Personal note from Vincent Hekman
Founder of NUNOVA
Read Vincent's story
“Over the past 19 years, I have had to spend a total of 10 years in rehabilitation after three serious accidents. I know from personal experience how devastating it is when your mind no longer cooperates, when concentrating, remembering or simply functioning is suddenly no longer a given.
The fatigue, the frustration, the feeling of loss… it’s intense. But I also know that recovery is possible. With the right training and guidance, as I experienced myself with Cogmed, I was able to regain my cognitive functioning step by step. That experience – and my belief in neuroplastic recovery – forms the basis of NUNOVA.”

This is what the training and the process look like
The training programme
Below are a number of important points.
The process after registration
After registration, we will contact the participant by telephone to assess together whether the training is appropriate at this time. We will look at the nature of the complaints, the home situation, the daily routine and mental resilience.
Based on this, we determine whether the training can be started in a responsible and meaningful way. If everything is in order, the training can often start within 24 hours.
